1:54 Leucanthemum vulgare - Field daisy

2:20 White groundcover around Viper's Bugloss is Trifolium Repens - Dutch White clover
2:27 Achillea millefolium - Yarrow
2:36 - Asclepias tuberosa - Butterflyweed
2:43 - Penstemon digitalis - Foxglove Beardtongue

4:50 - Saponaria officinalis - Wild Sweet William
4:55 - Lavandula angustifolia - English Lavender (with yarrow behind it)
5:08 - Dianthus gratianopolitanus - Cheddar Pink
5:12 - Cichorium intybus - Chicory
5:31 - Rudbeckia hirta - Black Eyed Susan, just prior to opening up
5:56 - Echium vulgare - Viper's Bugloss
6:18 - Stachys byzantina - Lamb's Ear (possible mis ID, see below)
6:27 - Rosa rugosa - Rugosa Rose
6:39 - Rudbeckia hirta - Prairie Sun Rudbeckia
6:47 - Gaillardia - Blanket Flower
6:58 - Phlox paniculata - White Phlox

For the lambs ear, the foliage ID I get is Lambs ear. The flower looks like lambs ear but it is white (normally purple). Often lambs ear has flowers more like mullein flowers (a bunch along a stalk), but these are different. It's possible this is a different variety of lambs ear, but also possible it's another plant completely?
