    A few interesting plants I found walking in Pennypack park in SE Pennsylvania. Anybody know what they are? I know the blue flower is chicory, but the others I am clueless.

    8 is definitely some kind of rubus. i have the same thing and mine, it turns out, is blackberry.

    9 looks familiar - like something i had a few years back. 'something' philadelphus. a pretty weed.

    #8 is Rubus phoenicolasius (Wineberry) - an invasive species in your area (native to eastern Asia). Identifiable by the dense red bristles on the flower buds.
