    Hi there! I'm new in the area and was intrigued by these plants. Would you mind identifying them? Many many thanks in advance!

    Answer

    Mountaindreams, Unfortunately, I'm not sure what area you are referring to that you are new in. Location is a really important piece of information for plant identification. I will do my best to examine your images, but without knowing where in the world they were photographed, it is likely I will not be able to identify some of them. 1. a species of crustose lichen. 2. Trillium undulatum (painted wakerobin). 3. possibly a species of Prunus (plum/cherry). 4. A species of Amelanchier (shadbush), likely Amelanchier bartramiana (mountain shadbush). 5. a species of Abies (fir). 6. A species of Sphagnum (peat moss). 7. Trillium erectum (red wakerobin). 8. Viburnum lantanoides (hobblebush).
