Wannabefree...guess what I got in the mail today!?!?!?!?

I don't know that plant, maybe someone else will. But if not, I'll try and find my plant ID book. And if I can find it, I'll have some questions to ask. I might be able to ID it that way. I think, but I'm not sure that that's a plant that I found a couple of years ago, and had planned on IDing, just never got to it. But, I seem to recall it had a white flower, and grew in a damp area.

thanks Deb, because I can't find it anywhere!

How about any of these?

This one is growing up beside my porch, and I was going to pull it, but thought it was interesting. Probably something common, haven't gotten to looking them up yet though...stuck on the first one

This is growing crazy by my compost pile. It has hairy leaves, and tops are about to flower, but haven't yet.

THIS particular one is growing all over my garden and comes up seemingly overnight...trying to erradicate it, the only thing saving it is the love the bunnies have for the stupid thing

Look up Pearly everlasting for the first one. Pic is kinda blurry, but sort of looks like it.. If it si that, it is used for dried flower arrangements.

That would be cool. I am more interested in what my animals will/can eat, but flower arranging is another hobby of mine, so that would be awesome if it could be dual purpose

UGH...that's not it either, but very close. The top doesn't look right, the stems are all green and have bilateral stems at top that form the flower heads, but all flower heads are seperate, unlike the umbrella shaped top of the hemlock. That is the closest thing I have seen to it yet though. Everything else I have looked up has pointed to hemlock, and I know it isn't hemlock. The flower head itself, is not like that one either, instead of one large blossom, on each top there is a multitude of tiny little petals coming out, rather than a few petals to the sides and a defined center. Like dandelion heads I guess, rather than a daisy. WishI knew all the scientific terminology to explain it more clearly.

It's not yarrow is it?

No, it has flower heads closely resembling yarrow, but like I said..multiple petals with no distinct center at all. The foliage looks almost exactly like the Pearly Everlasting except for the top of the plant, and yarrow is very different.
