So I would like to use all plants medicinally in my life plants. Starting small and then becoming a full master of herbalism.

Here are quite a few plants that I took pictures of for identification purposes and the latter. Lol, also just because I enjoy taking pictures of plants.

Now I've noticed this one starts yellow and then turns white. Please correct me if I'm wrong.









This one I know as blue moutain flower from Skyrim...also as blue corn flower.






This one my mom thought was very pretty...I thought I had another picture of it, but I don't.



Then there's this one.






I like the multi coloured flower of this one...









The yellows of this one...ooh.








And this is Thistle/crab grass.












These may be related to the aster or daisy family, but I'm not sure.

The first two pictures are of Yellow Sweetclover

Yellow Sweetclover (Melilotus officinalis)

The third pictures is of White Sweetclover (the flowers don't change color)

White Sweet Clover (Melilotus albus)

Pictures 4 and 5 look like Chicory.

Chicory (Cichorium intybus)

6 I don't know.

7 and 8 are Hoary Vervain

Hoary Vervain (Verbena stricta)

9, 10, and 11 are Flower-of-an-Hour

Flower of an Hour (Hibiscus trionum)

12 and 13 appear to be St. Johnswort, but I don't know which species.

14, 15, 16, and 17 are Musk Thistle

Musk Thistle (Carduus nutans)

The last three are of some sort of Fleabane (Erigeron).

Wow, there will be a huge amount to learn about ID'ing plants to pursue that purpose.
1, 2. Melilotus officinalis, yellow sweet clover, a weed.
3. Melilotis alba, actually a different species, not the same plant turning white. White sweet clover - a weed.
4, 5. Lactuca sp.
6. Echium vulgare, a weed.
7, 8. Verbena stricta.
9, 10,11. Hibiscus trionum, flower-of-an-hour.
12-14. Hypericum sp.
15-18. Carduus nutans
19-21. Leucanthemum vulgare, ox-eye daisy.

Kent, you may be right about the chicory... The last one is ox-eye daisy though, not any erigeron.

Photo #6 Viper's Bugloss (Echium vulgare)

Photo's #15 & #16 remind me of Bull Thistle (Cirsium vulgare)

Last three photo's may be Oxeye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare)

The thistle is Carduus nutans. Cirsium vulgare has a very different calyx (as shown in the photos you linked), plus prickles down the midrib of the leaves, which this plant doesn't have.

All nice flowers, Imaeus!


I'm wondering if ~

19 & 20 is Erigeron, but

21 is Leucanthemum vulgare

Ah, yes... 19 and 20 are different plants than 21!! Thanks for the sharp eye, wildflowers!
Kent was right with fleabane for 19 and 20.

Thanks everyone for the identifications. I will look up and take notes for next time im on a hike. As well as take more pictures. I will try to not crowd them next time.
