bowhog, The first plant you have pictured on pg. 1 is devils claw. the last plant you have pictured on that page looks like spearment (cant be 100% from pic, but next time you run across it pick it and smell it for positive and unmistakable ID.) On the second page of this post the 1st pic looks like wild ginger but again not 100% dig the root and smell. It will have a very pungent ginger aroma. The interesting part of this pic to me is the one leaf at the very left center edge that has white and green pigment. The only plant I have seen in southeastern Ohio with that pigmentation is called rattlesnake plant. It isn't called that because it attracts snakes, but because of the seedpod that forms straight up from a central stem resembles the tail end of a rattlesnake.

Three small ginsang plants. There is a 2-prong at the top, a small 3-prong at center of pic, and a 1st year 3 leaf plant at the very bottom of the picture.

Goldenseal plants. The heart shaped leaf at the right is wild ginger.

More wild ginger...

Nice pictures 5 your all seng is sure going it is amazing to me how much greener ours still is.
