Question
I am still trying to identify the many species around our southern NH home. The white trumpet-clusters(they're 3-4" long) seem to be on a vine. The small clustered white flowers are popping up in a damp bed abutting a low area. And the 3rd is in a flower bed but can't figure out what it is. The leaves are ominous. I can't imagine what the large buds will become.
Answer
Dear nancyQ, I'm not sure I can help you with these species because they are cultivated (or at least that is my assumption based on you noting the "damp bed"). The first species with larger white flowers appears to be something in the Caprifoliaceae (honeysuckle family), the second with the flower bud is unknown to me, the last appears to be Maianthemum canadense (Canada-mayflower). Sorry I cannot be more helpful, but cultivated plants are another realm of expertise from wild plants. Best wishes.
