How neat is that?

Didn't take too many photos while hiking because I was trying to not die. Some of them are not currently flowering but I took photos of their foliage so I could ID them.

Edit: the ones I couldn't ID in the field are the ones without blooms.

Wow, none of them are familiar to me, (Los Angeles) but I'm getting results like pickerelweed, huckleberry, bog buttons, so are you in the southeast US?

No, this was in Bon Echo Provincial Park in Ontario.

My guesses are:

  • Cardinal Flower
  • Pickerelweed - (it's got a large range!)
  • Canada may flower (I thought they're were trout lilly...)
  • 2 photos of asters, can't quite figure out what they are
  • Pipewort
  • Asters again
  • Golden rod (2x because I love this flower)
  • Mayflower berries

No idea what the last one is, it's almost like cone flower but also lily

First one looks just like virginia creeper, but if this is in Ontario, I don't know if it actually is that plant. It's a very pretty plant that changes color during autum, but it's also got poisonous sap that can cause a rash similar to poison ivy in some folks. Either way, nice pics!

I agree the vine is Virginia Creeper, which is native to Ontario. I've got some at home. The flower is Cardinal Flower tho.

Pretty sure the vine in the first one is Virginia creeper, not sure about the flower growing around it, though.
