So I have a random plant growing in what appears to be only one place but I have no idea what it is.

In this picture I am referring to the one in almost the center, jagged looking leaves.

The side view, it's fairly tall, a bit over a foot.

The center right plant, the white flowers are part of the plant.

A close up of the flower, it's the best I could get, it's in a place I can't really reach so it was hard to get a shot at all lol.

Is it peppermint? I have peppermint in my front yard. It comes up to my waist. Here's some pictures of itImageUploadedByTortForum1373836231.260547.jpg

I've let it get too big and its taking over everything. I usually pull it out and it grows right back out...


Also my peppermint leaves have holes in them like the ones in your picture.

Another one popped up not to far away from the first, here is a better picture of the leaves, and ill check out that website too thanks.

Does the peppermint smell like peppermint? Because this plant does not.

And I'm not sure if I get June bugs, I've not seen them but I've also only lived in Colorado for few years and this house for even less time, so maybe I have just missed them.

I don't know what the first picture is, but the second one looks like it might be lambsquarters.

These are the one im talking about mostly ( and yes most of the time u find them on top of one another :/ ) lol but they made a 'sex trap' ok its not actually professionally called that - just a june bug trap but we call it that becus they use a ' sex attractant' they cant resist above a bag which they will go into and get stuck, them u can just easily throw it away and replace the new one... They can kill rose bushes, tons of flowers, even eat ur gardens!! Try seven dust- dont feed after use of it to your turtle until completely washed off...

Turtle, tortoise, or human consumption until fully washed thoroughly

I remember those bugs haha I used to catch them all summer at my grandparents house when I was real little, I haven't seen them around here but I'm certain they aren't the culprit this time. My pest is some type of aphid, there is so much growth however they can't kill it off lol.

I have not figured out what the plant is yet, I didn't see it on that site but I have been real busy this week and not really looked into it a ton yet. I'll check to see if it's lambsquarter.
