    I have these plants appearing in my 3rd year wildflower meadow at southern edge of the White Mountains. Before I pull, I would like to be certain they are considered invasive weeds. Thanks! I think your website is awesome!

    Answer

    Dear sd40, The plant in the first image is likely a species of Galeopsis (hemp-nettle, a member of the mint family. The other two taller plants I cannot answer for certain, but both appear to be members of the aster family, and may be a species of Solidago (goldenrod), or a member of the aster alliance. As they get taller I can provide a more confident answer. Best wishes.
