Were these plants found in the section of the trail close to the Coke plant in Beechville?  This is a horticultural plant and this section of the trail (perhaps there are other sections as well) has numerous plants that were obviously planted along both sides of the trail. Horticultural, rather than native species were used.  Perhaps the plants you found are a result of this intentional planting?

Hello fellow botanists,
<br/>
<br/> today, my wife and I came across a plant on the BLT Trail
<br/> (Beechville Lakeside Timberlea Rails to Trails),
<br/> which we cannot find in the Flora of NS.
<br/> It looks very much like a Lamiaceae,
<br/> and could be a Dragon Head (Dracocephalum).
<br/> There was a patch of 10-15 stalks, in full sun, poor soil.
<br/> Is anybody familiar with this plant?
<br/> Thanks for your help,
<br/> Burkhard
<br/>
