Ok, let's start the ball rolling.  It's definately a member of the Caryophyllaceae (pink / campion / stitchwort) family. More specifically, I'm going to be brave and stick my neck out and guess, is it a Silene vulgaris??

What's this one? I have a local common name, but I don't know the latin. Maybe we can figure it out. It grows in thick duff on wetlands that firm up in summer months. Cursed seeds cling to your clothes.

SwampDonkey, what you just said was what I first thought, so...

Plant # 1, Silene cucubalus.

        # 2, Geum rivale.  We call it Water Avens, but I don't suppose you do!

        # 3, family Asteraceae.  Possibly a Hieracium or a Crepis or not.  Hawkweed or Hawk's Beard??

        # 4.  A weed, which seems to be the general concensus here.  Although I do have an incline.

        # 5.  Looks suspiciously like a Bird's Foot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus).


Edit note; Silene cucubalus and S.vulgaris are the same plant. We are both correct!

#1 yes, we used to pinch the end of the bladder and remove it from the plant, then make a popping noise when poked against something solid. What kids will do.  ;D

#2 yes, we call it begger's tic here. The seeds (tics) attach to your clothes and probably bad in sheep's wool. Thanks for the latin name. It wasn't in Audubon's, although one website said it was and gives a plate photo number, but it isn't it. Maybe there is a more up to date guidebook.

#3 yes, we call it devil's paint brush locally.

#5 yes, I had to give it a second glance. It is very much like another plant, even the leaves. Non native here.

Any guesses on # 4? ;D

Got any open meadow on some old harvested cedar ground? Not with heavy grasses, but low herb? You'll probably find those 'water avens' (beggars tics). The old seed heads might be around with seeds to catch into your clothes. The stems are fine like wire and they are 2 or 3 feet high. I never new such a cursed plant could have such nice colorful flowers. Plant #2.

It looks familiar. I'll keep my eyes open for it.

Is this perhaps your number 4?

Jeff, by the looks of the basal leaves on yours, it looks like a buttercup. Mine has pointed leaves at tip and base, and are linear. It grows in wetland meadows with number 2. You might also find dwarf raspberry and currants.

There is a shallow spot on my lawn overlaying some shale and it's mostly this plant and some wild strawberries.

Reminds me, I saw some wild strawberry out in the woods as big as the end of your pinky finger. I like them, but since I had a mixing bowl full of cultivated ones and my father is picking them in his garden daily, I never picked any. The deer flies didn't keep me moving along either, or nothing.  ::) ;D
