Wow! Quick response. Thanks. You might be right. I will take the descriptions I found about it and give the plant a closer look. You might have nailed it. Any other ideas from anyone else? Thanks

Mia, You're welcome. I used to grow tons of sunflowers right in my garden. They are so beautiful and I love them all. However......they also attract some insects, like stink bugs, that are hard to control and can wreck a garden. Stink bugs and leaf-footed bugs are my worst tomato pests, so I wouldn't grow anything near the tomatoes that would attract them. I no longer grow sunflowers within the fenced garden where I grow tomatoes, but I'll grow them in a different garden plot---like having all the tomatoes in the front garden and the sunflowers in the back garden. One way to use sunflowers is as a trap crop away from the garden to attract the pests that like them away from your actual garden to a different area. That is how I use them now, having learned a few years back that I had a lot less stink bugs in the garden if I grew the sunflowers as far away from it as possible.

When you pull one of these weeds, if the roots smells like carrot, it is Queen Anne's Lace. If the plant is hemlock, it will have a replusive musty smell sometimes described as smelling like a mouse. What does a mouse smell like? Normally, but I will not say always because there are some different species of QAL and they don't all look the same, the QAL has tiny hairs on the stems. The stems can be solid green or solid green with teeny tiny red pinstripes. The poisonous hemlock has some purple splotches on its stems. Some QAL, but not all, have a dark flower, variously described in different sources as red, maroon, black or purple, in the center of each flower cluster, but this can be iffy and inconsistent and is not necessarily a reliable indicator. The species of QAL that grows wild at our place never ever has had the oddly colored flower, only the creamy white ones. If you have the QAL, when the plants go to seed (don't let them!), the seed heads curl inward on themselves forming something that looks a little like a bird nest. Also, the poisonous hemlock usually needs wet ground to grow but QAL can grow in wet or dry ground. And, poisonous hemlock gets taller and more spread out, though the QAL flower heads will spread out a lot and have less tight flowerheads as the seeds mature, so the flower spread isn't always reliable.

The first is Oenothera, possibly Oenothera biennis. Second Magnolia ? Third looks like a cherry, Prunus. Five may be Enchanter's Nightshade, Circaea lutetiana Last is Lamb's quarters, Chenopodium album
