    The flowers in picture 2 belong to the plant in picture 1

    #4 looks like an Aroid of some sort. Maybe Amorphophallus konjac? Of course, I could be right off the deep end, and it could be celery or similar. Are all of the leaflets originating at one point, or is there space between them? I can't tell from that pic.

    #10 is a thistle; my guess would be Onopordum - it's a common weed.

    Did you see an odd-shaped blossom earlier in the season, but in the same location?

    If you had the odd blossoms and the plant doesn't produce more that just that one big leaf, you've got Amorphophallus of some sort; likely A. konjac given your location.
