Hi Hans and all,

Regarding your flower query, Devils Paintbrush is an acceptable  
common name for Hieracium aurantiacum, another is Orange Hawkweed. I  
see that you've received great help with the others, although I think  
that number three is Maianthemum canadense (Wild Lily-of-the-Valley)  
as DW
suggested. It appears from your pic that it is a four part flower as  
opposed to a six part, which it would have to be to be a Smilacina  
(False Sol. Seal).
