Well, I think it could be Blandfordia nobilis.

I'm not at all sure what it is but it isn't Blandfordia noblis which has an inflorescence of upwards of 10 red coloured cylindrical flowers. The "weed-it" meter inside my head is screaming "EXOTIC!" ... but then again, if you don't know what it is, don't pull it.

Yeah I did notice that it was Cryptantha, but which one has been the hard part. The ID as Lepidium fremontii for the second plant seems correct. Thanks for your responses.

"Conyza canadensis can reach 2 m in height and exceptionally large specimens can reach 3.5 m. From what I can father from the Flora of North America it appears that Conyza sumatrensis doesn't occur in North America." OK thanks. Can someone show me where the "bracts" are in this picture?

"Robustissima" says it all - a very vigorous plant with a spreading habit, winter hardy in zones 4-8. You should have no trouble growing it in NY.
