The green flowerless plant to the left of the moth mullein is teasel (Dipsaucus fullonum).  It will be flowering soon.

The pink flowers to the left of the moth mullein is crown vetch (Securigera varia).

The brown dried plant to the right of the moth mullein is field pennycress (Thalaspi arvense).  A cool season plant, it is done with its life cycle and gone to seed.
