    Hey all,

    I've been taking pics of plants growing around me and would like to know what some of them are :)

    The first one had a very beautiful and sweet scent, I was wondering if it is some type of sage, the rest I don't really know anything about...

    All such interesting plants! Thanks for the comprehensive ID David :)

    I never would have guessed an Artemisia nor a Nicotiana for 1 and 6.

    Good call Saltcedar, I just assumed it was a native 'weed' since it was growing unsuspectingly in a friend's backyard.

    Yep, definitely a non-native invassive species , but fortunately from what I've ever noticed it is usually found on waste sites or any area disturbed by mankind. Guess that would be about 90% of our planet!!!

    But with an invasive species username such as Saltcedar, it would have been a no brainer for you. *smile*
