    Recently, I found plants growing nearby in the woods. I would like more information on them, because the habitat they are shown in will be destroyed soon, so I want to transplant them. The first two pictures are of the same type of plant but in different locations. The last picture looks like some type of fern that is has the top end wrapped in a circle.
    These plants were found growing by a 2-3 inch pool of greenish water in the woods. There was lots of ferns.

    Thanks. (I live in zone 4 in Alaska)

    To identify the plants need good quality pictures, or all you will get is best guess, the flowers are most important for an accurate identification.

    Secondly you might need to get permission to salvage/remove the plants, the land owner may have plans for the plants etc.

    The first one is probably Uvularia or Streptopus
    The second is Smilacina racemosa for sure

    All needed to be shown in a more advanced stage of growth to be sure.
