Obedient Plant
Physostegia virginiana
Obedient Plant (Physostegia virginiana) is a hardy, rhizomatous perennial from the mint family (Lamiaceae), native to moist meadows, stream banks, and prairies of North America. Its square stems bear spikes of pink, white, or purplish, dragonhead-like flowers from July to October. It gets its name from the fact that individual flowers, when manually moved, will temporarily hold their new position, as if obeying. It spreads quickly, forming dense clumps, so it's advisable to thin it out occasionally in the garden by division.
Pokeweed (genus)
Phytolacca
Phytolacca is a genus of approximately 25 species of perennial herbs, shrubs, and trees native to tropical and temperate regions worldwide. The most notable species are Phytolacca americana (American pokeweed), a vigorous weedy perennial of eastern North America, and Phytolacca dioica (ombú), the iconic giant tree-herb of the Argentine pampas. All species are extremely toxic — every part contains saponins and phytolaccatoxin, with berries being particularly dangerous.
Indian Pokeweed
