Top one is Woody Nightshade, bottom one looks more Like ButterBur ( I presume you think it's burdock?)

I agree with Lures.. Woody Nightshade, also known as Bittersweet, and the bottom ones are Butterbur, which are useful for wrapping your food in, to go in a hungi. Many people mistake butterbur for burdock.

Yep I agree with you fine folks.

Top one is Woody nightshade, very poisonous due to high levels of Solanine toxins. Believe it or not this bad boy is a member of the potato family.

The second is butterbur for sure. I read somewhere that it gets it's name from when it was used to wrap butter pats.

Ade.
