    Yup, 2 more :)...there's too many native plants in my backyard :D (Not a bad thing of course) The first two are of the same plant, thought the berry insides (there's greenish goo on the inside) may help.

    I'd venture to guess Lonicera and Rosa.

    Japanese honeysuckle and maybe a bramble (Rubus) of some sort. Show old leaves, winter buds, shriveled fruits - whatever is present to find out more.

    The honeysuckle is a rampant pest species in eastern North America, having too much of it is not a rare experience there. The other shrub may also turn out to be one that is a weedy species in your region.

    RonG : I believe you're definitly correct about Japanese Honeysuckle, as I looked up a pic, and I know for a fact that the flowers look like that in bloom. There's also a highlikelyhood that the other is in the Rubus genus, as many years ago I helped my dad clear out some brush over there and saw some raspberry brambles. I'm thinking it may be Rubus phoenicolasiusThanks!

    Certainly looks like that species of bramble, grown in gardens out here also.
