I decided to repost the first and last plants from my other thread along with a new one to get a better chance of IDing them.

-------------------------------------------------------------

This fist plant had a square stem and attracted some sort of miniature scale to it. I never saw it before and it just popped up in three of my pots this year. I do not believe that it had any sort of smell when broken.

Unknown Plant 1

-------------------------------------------------------------

This next plant I have a suspicion about, but nothing definite.

Unknown Plant 2

-------------------------------------------------------------

This third plant occasionally comes up in my pots. It has soft and somewhat hairy leaves. Someone in the last thread suggested that it might be a wild variety of Lobelia.

Unknown Plant 3

-------------------------------------------------------------

I hope someone can ID these three plants.

I agree that #3 is a lobelia--Lobelia inflata I think.

Here is a link that might be useful: lobelia inflata--indian tobacco

Could the second one be a variety of lactuca, prickly/wild lettuce?

I think I agree that #3 is in fact Indian Tobacco. That means that I have been pulling out the very plant I have been trying for a while to grow. I found a single website with a picture of a rosette of Indian Tobacco leaves on it and it does indeed resemble what I have.

I will have to transplant some and try growing them indoors during the winter.

As for #2, it could very well be in the Wild Lettuce family. My plants don't appear to be prickly... yet. I have seeds for Lactuca canadensis, but I don't believe that I ever planted any of them.

Number 2 looks like a radish to me. The leaves and stem color can vary with radish variety.
