    Eastern Nebraska, USA weed plant ID

    I have three weeds that I have been trying to identify for quite some time. The pictures are now of the dried specimens except for one. I have some ideas as to what they are, but would love some confirmation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Ok, maybe this will get the ball rolling. I believe the middle plant is Canada Thistle (Cirsium arvense), and the one on the right is Fall Panic Grass (Panicum dichotomiflorum). As to the first species, I have absolutely no idea. It was growing in a roadside ditch near (and in) water. It did not have flower structures to help me identify. I know for sure it is not stinging nettles, but not sure what else it could be.

    Thanks again

    First one looks a bit like Bidens. I'd need more material to guess
    any further.
