Plant 3 is a non-native species, according to my book it came from Europe, however its has a cousin over here and adapted rather well.
Plant 4 is a member of the Caprifoliaceae family.
Thats the best I can do for clues short of naming them.

Number 6 is Pearly Everlasting (Anaphalis margaritacea). The historical note in my book says the leaves have been used as tobacco. The flowers were used to ward off evil spirits and to heal burns.
So Rabbit Tobacco may just be another name.

I never dreamed it would be so hard finding references to Rabbit Tobacco on the Web. This stuff is so common to kids in the south of my generation.
Gnaphalium obtusifolium

I drug Michelle over to the screen so here's a few guesses
#3 looks like a primrose which is a native to England
#9 appears to be a vetch so we made it up as we went along "purple vetch"
#10 might be a sedge and I seem to recall a downy sedge
So did we get to first base or is it back to the dugout?

Tom, a diesel pusher---your just jokin aren't you. My last job was pullin wrenches at an r/v dealership. One thing is for sure, any r/v can be a money pit! Just like boats I guess.
But if you do find that gold tree and end up with an r/v just holler if you have any questions about it. I've spent enough time working on top of, inside of and under them thats for sure.
Like anything ya get what ya pay for.

That's good Don.
Number 3 is Orange Hawkweed (aka Devil's Paintbrush)
Hieracium aurantiacum.
Number 9 is Cow Vetch (I guess you could call it purple vetch as well) Vicia cracca.
Number 10 is Cotton grass Eriophorum vaginatum, and it is a member of the sedge family
So I would say that you're somewhere between first and second base. Good show.

I've thanked M for letting me copy off her homework
Gordon, our motorhome is a 73 class A Chevy that Michelle's dad built from a bare chassis (he was a mechanical engineer and built boats, cars, campers...). At its age our running joke is that you need to have a hundred dollar bill in hand before turning the key, a hole in the highway into which we pour money.

Just added two new plants numbers 11 and 12. See if you can put a name to them.
Also check out Where's Mom. They sure were in a hurry to get out of there and find her.

11 looks like a Rhododendron and 12 is a fern of some kind of another. Off to the books.

Number 11 is Sheep Laurel and Number 12 is Sweet Fern.
Sheep Laurel is considered poisonous.
Sweet Fern has a very sweet fragrance that is noticeable when the leaves are crushed.
