    Picture 1# from the woods all around...haven't seen flowers on them yet?
    2# and 3# I photographed today growing near Red Trumpet Honeysuckle. These flowers were pure yellow...I've hiked these woods for years and this is the first time I've noticed the yellow ones?
    4# and Are growing with Naked Broomrape/Ghost Pipes, May-apple, False Solomon's Seal, and Wild Phlox. They've grass-like structure that the flowers top off...either white or purple?
    This area in the summer grows lots of varieties of mushrooms...is covered mostly with Elm, Oak, Maple, Pawpaw, and Red Bud.

    4 looks like Blue-Eyed Grass (Sisirynchum spp) or relative.

    Thanx lorax...after I'd posted that I started googling like mad....Possibly the White Blue-eyed Grass or Sisyrinchium albidum? This variety has both white to a pale blue color. Thanx for the help!
    Also, Thanx Tipularia....I do believe I'd already figured it was a yellow honeysuckle...lol...just wasn't sure WHICH one.....I kept googling 'yellow blah blah'...and all it'd give me was the Chinese honeysuckle that also has white. A COMPLETELY different kind then this. Thanx for the name! (and a link to how to buy some...lol)

    #1 Hydrophyllum virginianum, waterleaf, or other similar species in same genus.
