    I was trying to ID many plants from my stay in Alabama this spring but, I don't have a book of the plants of the region and I can't find any good websites to help me. I really appreciate any help offered.

    1. Coralorhiza wisteriana?
    2. Southern Twayblade?
    3. Something related to a monkey flower?
    4. Something in the family Nymphaeaceae?
    5. I have no idea even what family this is in.
    6. The same plant as the last photo
    7. No idea even what family this is.

    Thanks,

    -Corey

    Was the plant growing in a wet habitat? Did it have basal leaves?

    tipularia,

    No, unfortunately it was neither of those. Was growing in a Pine plantation where a wildfire had gone through last year.

    What were you thinking of? Maybe it is related?

    Thanks for your help!

    I have gone down a lot of dead ends trying to figure it out. Maybe someone will have an idea of what it is.
