OK, # 7 is a member of the buckwheat family. No, not from the little rascals. ;D

and # 9 is a tree.  ;)

and # 4 is associated with wild fires.  :)

I still don't know # 5, but I think I'm close.  ::)

Me and herbaceous plants go together like nuts and bubblegum :-\.  You're going to cause me to hit the books tomorrow, SD.  I'll go ahead and give a couple of them a shot, though:

#8 - nutsedge

#9 - mountain-ash

# 8 is not a sedge (no edges) The flower heads have not elongated yet. Your in the ball park. Won't expect the 'exact species' just the genus. ;D

#9 Hmmmm here is a flower.  ;)

Don't throw in the towel yet.  :P

It's a butternut flower.   yikes_smiley

#3 is very common along streams and beaver dams. Its a tall plant.

#4 is very common in the north. I'll give that one to ya. It's fireweed Epilobium augustifolium. Can't believe no one knows that one.  ::)

SD, are you positively smiley about #8?  Our Juncus effusus look strikingly different to yours :D  The Juncus family have round section, hollow stems and leaves.  Yours seem to have blade type leaves, suggesting a member of the Cyperaceae familyu.

On a different note, you've got us totally bamboozled on round 1, #4.  I thought I had it, but the more I look, the more the confusion.  Can not even determine the family.  Is it a Brassicaceae and how many stamens does it have ???

Yes it's Juncus, the flower heads have not elongated yet. It is as you described. It's growing in a wet trail, heavily traveled by moose.  ;D

Onagraceae Evening primrose family.  Same family as fireweed in round two. ;D

D'oh.  Onagraceae.  Of course it is.  :-[

Our glades are currently ablaze with fireweed!

Funny how some people will scoff at fireweed and plant that dang lupen in the yard. Don't look any better to me.  ;D :D :D I always said, we plant other people's weeds and overlook our own.  ;)

Was out for a stroll this morning. Walked into a sensitive area with overstory aspen. Many herbs include purple trillium (very big leaves), jewel weed, rattlesnake root and sarsaparilla.

What I found is this orchid, which as similar leaves as the yellow lady slipper, but with many small orchid-like flowers on a terminal spike. I tried like the dickens to get a well focused flower, but I was running low on battery power. I saw at least 40 plants in the area and the dominant ones were probably 16 inches tall.





Can't find it in Audubon. I'm thinking it's uncommon, maybe rare? I am busy doing a search on SARA and other sites.

I think I ID'ed it. It appears to be non native. Although, I have no idea how it would get into my woods, closest house is 1 mile away.

Looks like False helleborine an alien.Quite common even in deep woods over on this side of the border.

SwampDonkey

Thanks Aroostooksawyer, for helping to confirm it.

How has it spread so? Gee, it's a nice little flower but leaves one wondering how this stuff spreads.
