Take a look http://citychickadventures.blogspot.com/2011/07/lets-play.html on my blog. I haven't a clue what these 2 plants are, would love to know.
To yank or not to yank? That's the question!
(It's also a new blog and I'd love some followers.  )

Hello! This one made me curious, bc I often wondered what the first one is too. I thought I had it id as motherwort, but have no verification of that. One thing is for sure, it has prickly sand spur type thorns on it. I would pull it out and take the whole thing to the x agent, or just burn it bc it can rapidly multiply. Ive watched it over full seasons of time and it produces nothing edible or sweet smelling. I think its definately a weed. But Id like to know too!

The first one looks like horehound or mugwort to me..the leaves are a little narrow for mugwort. It for sure looks like the mint family though....square stems.
second one IS Love lies bleeding. Pretty...wow..didn't know they got that big!

I am willing to bet the first is some type of horehound (something in the mint family)? Rub the leaf in your fingers--is there a scent? (then wash your hands just in case!!  )
The second is amaranthus('love lies bleeding' is the name if I recall )-- chickens love the seeds if you have 'city chicks' City chick!

I have a huge pot on cat nip growing on my deck. Sure looks similar. But the cat nip leaves are not that large.
Do let us know when you do find out what the plants are. They are rather nice.

No clue on the first, but the second looks like amaranth.

Pretty plants, but I don't know what they are. I heard there are a few websites around that you can send a picture to and they will ID it for you. Do a search on google and I bet you will find someone who can help!

The Master Gardener had a booth set up last year at a local farmers market. (one I don't usually visit.) I may take a cutting with me.
Someone had suggested on my blog that it was castor bean. It's not - it doesn't produce any beans. Just millions of tiny, tiny seeds in plumes.

I love your blog! I'll be signing up to follow. I have no idea what those are, but I once e-mailed photos to our extension office and they did identify the bushes we were questioning.

You could take cuttings to your local extension agency. Just make sure you put them in a ziplock bag in case it is a weed.
