| Can anyone identify these for me?
1. Very prickly--growing at the edge of and into our little woodland area. I think it is some sort of vine but not sure exactly. And yes we have a BAD problem with creeping charlie too and I'm not sure how to deal with that yet either.
2. 
3. What is the hairy stuff in among the bluebells?
4. Is this a weed?
5. 
6. This stuff is really invading all over our yard and woodland.
7. What is this shrub?

| #7 looks like some kind of elderberry. |

| First one looks like Dewberry, in the Rubus genus. Second one looks like Sumac. Does the fifth one have woody stems? Agree that 7 looks like Elderberry (Sambucus). |

| Dewberries huh? I'll be more careful not to destroy them then. The issue I've been having with them is where they are located. Can they be transplanted? Do they only grow on a trailing vine on the ground or do they ever have upright canes? There are some canes nearby that I can't identify either--I'm not sure if my husband killed those last year with the lawnmower though. Yes #5 has a woody stem. Thanks for helping! |

| Regarding #7 I seem to remember from last year that this plant had very large clusters of red berries. |

| Unfortunately dewberries seem to prefer trailing along the ground. Not a plant for an organized garden, but good for wildlife, I'm sure. I have them too. Does #5 have serrated edges on the leaves or are the edges smooth? Do you see any larger plants around with the same leaves (this one seems to be a plant that might have been cut or knocked down and is growing from a large root base)? |

| Could #5 be lilac? There is a large lilac nearby. I figured out what #6 is. Creeping bellflower ugh!! |

| Dewberries that we had when I was a child were tastier than the other raspberries and blackberries. Also the berries were bigger but ours was in a open field not a woodland. |
