Dandelion (Title Photo By Sheila Sund from Salem, United States )
Answers in the comments by 5 p.m. UK time on Friday 1st October please (and how can we possibly nearly be in October? It’ll be Christmas next). I’ll publish the answers on Saturday 2nd October. As usual I will attempt to disappear any answers promptly so that they don’t influence those who come later, but I don’t always spot them, so you might want to write your answers down first if you’re easily influenced (like me).
So, if you think the seedhead in the first photo is wild carrot, your answer is 1) A.
Onwards, and good luck!

Hi Rachael, thank you! I shall disappear you now 🙂
Hi Rachael, you got 15 out of 15, and I shall credit you on the answers post, not sure how I missed this one! I think because I forgot to disappear it 🙁

Hi Sharon, you got 11/15, I think that 14 and 15 maybe disappeared :-). I shall credit you on the main post, I have no idea how I missed this one, but sometimes WordPress doesn’t alert me to new comments.

That nettle was a sting(k)er!
And a perfect 15/15 Mal, I shall credit you on the post as well.
