    These pictures were taken in northern Wisconsin, along the shore of Lake Superior. Was wondering if I could get them ID'd here. Thanks.

    first one is horsetail, the fourth (and fifth) look like fireweed to me.

    Agree horsetail perhaps Equisetum arvense? for the first and Fireweed, Willowherb or Epilobium angustifolium? There is a hauntingly familier name attached to one of the Epilobium subspecies from the Wisconsin edu site linked to above. :) Harry

    The dimpled red berries look to be those of Actea rubra, red baneberry.
