Huh, what's this? Plant ID app is 96% confident its a tobacco plant.

I'd be surprised, but it is theoretically possible if some long dormant seeds from the previous owner got brought up when we shifted this former greenhouse soil. He would be the type to grow his own tobacco too, rather than have it flown in from Belarus by balloon 😆

Grew wild between the onions that we did plant there.

Surely the fediverse can help me identify this massive plant found growing outside a warehouse in Normandy, in mid-June!

///EDITED TO ADD: This is SOLVED! It's a foxglove tree :)

Any botanists (and adjacent) able to ID these two different plants that I did not plant?

What hashtags should I be using here to get the right eyes/help? Ty!

Located in WI, USA.

Edit: so far have suggestions for Daisy Fleabane and Yellow Dock, which seem to match up so far.
I guess I should leave the former alone, the other is an invasive however, should I remove it?

Does anyone know what kind of plant this might be?

This plant keeps regrowing on an intersection island on my regular route. Don't ask me where it gets the water given how tiny the hole is and how far it is from any bare ground.

It grows bigger and bigger until one day it is cut off and starts over. Not sure if it is cut by road crews or careless drivers.

Discovered a beautiful little weed outside and thought I'd try my hand at identification. It had a rigid square stem with some reddish purplish tinting sometimes, so that made me think a mint. I rubbed the stalk and leaves and the first wiff was mint but then I began to feel it was somewhat skunky and sharp. I noticed the leaves were toothed (though rounded) and that it was growing along a wall (mint loves this for some reason) and it was growing prolifically, as mint often does (mint tends to be invasive and grows very well).
I asked others and did some research and came to the conclusion this is Glechoma hederacea (ground ivy, creeping charlie, field balm, etc). It IS in the mint family!!!! I was so proud to be so close!
Allegedly edible, though not studied in rigid scientific settings very well.
Anyone know anything about this plant? Please share!
