    A Few Things I Noticed While Walking Through A Forest In Southern Connecticut A Few Days Ago. Some Images Are of The Same Thing In Hopes To Help Present A More Solid Question. Anyways, Any Help With Identification Would Be Greatly Appreciated.

    Answer

    Perceptive Plants, it might be a little hard for us to keep track of all the images. It would be better if you would post fewer images per question so you know for sure which image I'm referring to. In order of how they are presented to me, the first two are Ranunculus (crowfoot), but without leaves I cannot tell you which species (possibly Ranunculus acris). The third image is Celastrus orbiculatus (Oriental bittersweet). The fourth and fifth images are a species of Euonymus (spindle-tree). The sixth image is a gall on a compound leaf. The seventh image is Hesperis matronalis (dame's rocket). The eighth and ninth images are Galium aparine (scratch bedstraw). The tenth and eleventh images are Euonymus alatus (winged spindle-tree). I hope that helps.
