    This are one of the last flowers still left from summer, what plant is it?

    The second picture shows a plant that seems to me a weed. It has a very strong smell. Any idea what could it be?

    Thanks

    Number one is an Aster, but I couldn't tell you which one.
    Number two is Mint or a Mint relative, something from the Lamiaceae. What does it smell like?

    Plant on the right is probably Melissa officinalis (lemon balm).
