Look at the photos from Michael Moore's website.
or Plants for a Future for cultural info.

might be another variety, or even another plant. Leaves are sharp 
pointed,plant  grows to over 6' and has a ball shaped cluster in center that 
opens up.

I ususally find them growing in areas that also contain "iron weed" -vernonia 
altissima. In fact that first JPEG of Urtica-dioica stinging nettle looked 
more like vernonia to me.

But I'm no expert:)

Does any one know of a good way , site to ID plants when you don't know their 
names??

Thanks. Frank
