    Answer

    Dear Michael, good morning. The plants in the first image I cannot help with--I would need a larger photograph with better resolution. Both pictures 2 and 3 are young plants of Quercus rubra (northern red oak). The 3rd plant is simply displaying more red pigment in the leaves than the 2nd plant. Best wishes.
