Hi Brian,

Photos 22, 23 & 33 at Scotch Lovage (Ligusticum scothicum L, Apiaceae).
Photos 24, 25, & 26 are Starry False Solomon's Seal (Smilacina  
stellata (L.) Desf., Liliaceae).
Photos 27-32 are Roseroot (Sedum rosea (L.) Scop., Crassulaceae).
Photo 34 is of the lichen, Xanthoria parietina.

Best wishes!

Chris
