Plant whose tag got lost two years ago are starting to bloom.
http://tinypic.com/1r509n5u
The first plant (plant_1) has reddish stalks and looks like a mint.
The second plant has large leaves.
Any ideas?

Just below the pictures it says "Latest Albums". Click on the album name
"Unknown Plant".
I navigate by clicking on "Albums" below "TinyPic Member" and across
from "Home".
Thanks.

The mint with reddish stems is...some sort of mint (Mentha).
What does is smell/taste like?

The other plant looks like a some sort of burdock (Arctium sp.).

In article


No descernable smell or taste.

Bingo, Arctium lappa - L.
I don't remember planting it, and it certainly didn't flower last year.
Thank you, Pat.
