Hi CStaas,
I think you're right about plant #1 - don't remember the name but it looks like a common invasive (& poisonous) vine. If it's the same thing I had it's quite proliferous but can be removed by consistantly pulling it up, may take a few seasons however.

It looks like plant #4 might be Forget-me-not.

Plant 5 is one I call velcro plant, though is more properly known as bedstraw. Galium, I think.

Plant 6a/6b is one of the Elaeagnus with the shiny scales on the stems and leaves. They are all pests, and the red fruits get the birds to distribute the seeds everywhere. Please destroy it.

The rest I admire but can't positively ID.

Number 8 looks like Blue Eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium species).

FYI- I found another file of photos, so there are more added to the album now! Thanks for the help so far.. much appreciated.

Viburnum.. is the Elaeagnus one of the olive-type shrubs? I am having a hard time figuring out what kind. Are they all bad? A shame.. it's so pretty and silvery.. but I guess that's why people let them in, huh?

9 is Ladies Tresses. Native monocot, orchid. Highly desirable.

19 bugloss
16 jewelweed, desireable wildflower, threatened in some states
12 aster
20 persicaria
I don't think 6 is eleaganus. Might be a leucothe or doghobble

10 is Hypericum adpressum, desireable native wetland wildflower

Alright, CStaas, you've sucked me in again.

The only native Elaeagnus is E. commutata, which I don't think is what you've got there, nor is it particularly native to the east coast. Unless Brenda knows another thorny woody plant with silvery structural scales that gets the red fruit, that's Elaeagnus. Probably E. umbellata or E. angustifolia, both of which are not good additions to natural areas. Probably a hundred other native shrubs that provide more wildlife benefit that you'd rather have.

I also think Brenda meant #18 for lady's tresses (Spiranthes), which is a great little plant.

Others I think I know include:

13 goldenrod (Solidago)
16 jewelweed (Impatiens)
19 purple prairie clover?
21 Bidens (one of the kind that has the sticktight seeds)

#1 Cynanchum nigrum or Black Swallowwort
#7 looks like a Penstemon, perhaps Penstemon digitalis
#9 thinking yellow sweet clover but the flowers seem quite large
#10 reminds me of Oenothera biennis
#12 might be Aster pilosus
#14 Verbena hastata
#15 Lycopus uniflorus
#18 Spiranthes cernua
#21 Bidens frondosa

OK.. lots of your suggestions have been confirmed! I updated the photos with names that have been verified.

I do think that #6 is a Elaeagnus, but trying to narrow down what kind is difficult. The berry pattern doesn't match the few pictures I've been able to find so far, but it definately has the "scales". Hmm.. it should be flowering soon (which I didn't notice last year). So I'll keep a close eye out if I don't have a definate answer before then.

Wow.. #13 is a solidago, and #12 is an aster, but I had NO idea there were so many types of each! There are tons of other asters, in a variety of shapes and colors, on the property that I don't have pics. of yet.

Not sure about #10... it DID remind me of Oenothera when I first saw it.. I'm gonna look through some more photos.

So far:
1. black swallowwort (invasive)
2.
3.
4.
5. Bedstraw; gallium
6.
7. Penstemon digitalis
8. Stout blue-eyed grass
9.

11. Boneset
12. (aster)
13. (solidago)
14. Swamp vervain; verbena hastata
15. Northern bugleweed; lycopus uniflora
16. Jewelweed or Spotted Touch-me-nots; Impatiens capensis
18. Nodding lady's tresses; spiranthes cernua
20. Nodding smartweed; polygonum
21. Devil's beggartick; Bidens frondosa

Ok...here's what I think:

9. Lantana? If it's lantana, you may not want it, depending.

10. Primrose of some sort..Oenthra something or other
11. Calico Aster
12. Goldenrod of some sort, maybe showy? Solidago something or other
13. The blooms on this plant look like chicory. Is there a yellow form?
14. A native mint of some sort.

#4 Myosotis salvatica
Eurasian I think but naturalized, biennial.

#10 Oenothera biennis

2 could be Veronica officinalis - Common Speedwell

3 is Stellaria graminea - Lesser Stitchwort
(weed from Europe)

4 is Myosotis scorpioides (Myosotis palustris)

6 Elaeagnus sp. - there are 45 species plus hybrids; please just get ride of it!

7 definately Penstemon maybe hirsutus (instead of digitalis)

9 is Trifolium aureum (Trifolium agrarium)- Hop Clover

10 is Oenothera biennis - Common Sundrop

17 is Hieracium sp. - Hawkweed (DYC's --damn yellow composites are hard to tax out!)

19 is Prunella vulgaris - common selfheal (weed from Europe)

Hope this helps! Wallie

here are my thoughts
3 mouse ear chickweed, 4 forget me not, 6 possibly honeysuckle, 7 beardtongue, 9 definitely clover, could be hop clover, or black _____ (I forget the second part clover) 12 aster, 13, goldenrod, 17 could be hawkweed 19 healall (I pretty sure on this one)

You guys are great! Lots of fun following all the leads and checking out websites, etc. for verification. I "think" we've got all of these, as close as we can for now without more photos, etc.

I'll post another album in the spring when I find more plants. I know there are a few, like meadow beauty, that I didn't get to photograph last year.

I don't know much about plant IDing yet, but I thought you might want to check out Lindera benzoin before assuming you had an Elaeagnus. I didn't realize the spicebush leaves could get so narrow. The picture you have posted shows berries that seem to have that telltale Autumn Olive transparent look, but I wasn't sure whether it was a trick of the light. (Your plant looks Autumn Olive to me, but wouldn't it be a shame if it wasn't and you got rid of it!) I assume you'll know quickly the first time it blooms.
