Help ID a plant for me. ADDED a couple more plant Pic I need help with

I vote for virginia creeper on the first one. Be careful with it, it wants to take over the world. That being said, I do let some grow on my fences...The birds love to nest in it, and it is quite beautiful in the fall. It will climb up trees and smoother them. They claim that the majority of the "green" we see in the Adirondacks is really virginia creeper...don't know much about the little "tree". I tried to plant a few in my "wee garden" thought they looked like mini- trees, but they died. Enjoy discovering the mysteries of your new property!!

First one seems too upright (and early) for wood strawberry so I am going to say Wood Anemone; second one seems to be a clubmoss.

Not very familiar with either but I think that Pat has got 'em.

The flower on the first made me think of a mayapple but . . . hey, I'm really not familiar with that "easterner." Virginia Creeper doesn't have that flower and it has crept all the way from Virginia to here . . .

I agree with Pat's estimation. Here's some pics of the wood aneome . Virginia creeper is a climbing vine and has clusters of bright orange/red trumpet shaped flowers. It took me a second look to see the white flowers on the first pic. The second pic is definitely club moss (or "ground pine"). They are nice in flower arrangements/wreaths as an evergreen.
 
I have miles of virginia creeper and have never seen it flower...it can climb- but it is happy to creep all over the ground, as well. Didn't see the white flower in the pic- I'm sure Pat is right.
 
The last picture is a red cedar. I have them growing everywhere on my property. They are a large shrub.
 
It is a noxious weed that looks like thistle, but doesn't have the thorns on the stems. The seed pods are burrs that catch in clothes and tangle in pet fur. Get it out! All the tap root too. Not mullein.

The vine is a wild ivy.

The evergreen is princess pine. It is endangered in Ma. It is wild and will make a beautiful stand over time. It does not get much bigger and reproduces slowly by underground roots and likes the understory.

i agree. It is virginia creeper. Turns a lovely bright red in the autumn.
 
Hi! I am new here--am from BYC. That is a burdock plant. I let one grow in my yard. Here is why :ya

I use these instead of rhubarb leaves. So much more veining, it makes a beautiful leaf!
