Plant identification please

[idg]

Can anyone ID these two plants. The first I have always known as burdock but not sure.
The second is about 7 feet tall.
Bees are working both today.

This is the second

It is a burdock, and I think Greater Burdock, there is a variety called Lesser Burdock which has smaller flowers than the Greater, but otherwise they are very similar.

My bees work it as well.


There was only 1 picture posted.

The 2nd one is Great Wilowherb

Another great wildflower for bees

Don't let your dog within 6ft of any burdock!!!!

Something has to distribute the seeds

My cats come in covered in goose grass seeds, and another type of seed similar to burdock. The name escapes me right now though, I'm always pulling seeds out of their coats when they've been propagating

Cleavers, nothing like as difficult to remove as burdock!

Sorry mis-read, cleavers is goose grass.
