Notes:
There is a LOT of this growing in our yard & even my herbal “expert” friend was at a loss. The leaves are soft & slightly fuzzy. When bruised they have a lemony, almost antiseptic smell that is quite nice. I’d like to find out what it is to see if I can infuse the leaves for medicinal or aromatic use.

When you first posted these pictures…. I was like… I know that plant…. Unfortunately, I couldn’t think of what it was… until the ones at my house started to bloom. I believe you have camphor weed: http://www.catnapin.com/WildFlowers/Flowers-Y/yoDaisyAster.htm useful? If you want to attract pollinators… And these days, attracting pollinators is becoming very important…

Looks like some very young leaves of broadleaf dock (Rumex obtusifolius) to me. Maybe horseweed is a common name for it that I’m unfamiliar with – unless I’ve just gotten the wrong plant.

Kind of looks like horseweed to me. I’m not sure if it has any useful properties.
