In the upper left corner of the collage is teasel. It is claimed to be an herb that is helpful for Lyme disease. It was brought from Europe, as the dried flower head was used to comb wool before weaving. The purple flowers on the bottom left are thimbleberry. They are one of the many edible berries of North America. Upper right is a companula. The lower right picture is mostly Queen Anne's lace. Queen Anne's lace is Daucus carrotus, better known as carrot. Three hundred years ago, the Dutch crossed the white rooted Queen Anne's lace with the red rooted Pakistani carrot to get the commonly seen orange carrot.
