    I am in Minnesota.

    First pic (DSCN2319) is of a small tree-type thing. It was right next to a crab tree. Untitled1 is the plant dried and mounted.

    Second pic (DSCN2398) was a bush found at a grocery store.

    Untitled2 was found in the woods.

    The second to last pic (DSCN2402) is of this crazy long slender thing I have never seen (noticed) before. It was found on the edge of some woods. Untitled2 is of it dried and mounted.

    Thanks in advance!

    Pics #1 and #3 are a species of Lonicera. Probably one of the invasive Asian ones.

    #2 may be Spiraea,
    #4 is nettle, most likely Urtica dioica (a female plant if I am correct with U.dioica)

    Second picture shows a spiraea. Fourth one is a nettle (Urtica). Last one probably something like Erigeron philadelphicus.

    Thanks. I think I ID'ed them correctly...Lonicera caprifolium - second one Spirea japonica third one Urtica dioica however I am not sure this is correct as it does not have "stinging nettles." I am well aware of stinging nettles as I have accidentally walked through them when I was younger. The last one is Erigeron philadelphicus.

    I had spent several hours trying to ID those ones and couldn't come up with anything definitive. I have gained much more respect for identifying plants after working on this project, it is VERY tricky.

    Thanks for the help!
