Several plants I am curious about, I had about thirty but I have
identified all of those except for the ones below. If needed, I can
take more pictures and try to get better ones or closeups of certain
plant parts...

I am in Northwest Arkansas, zone 6b if that helps any.

I think this is yellow loosestrife but I wanted a second opinion.


I can't count the petals from here, but it looks like Evening Primrose
[Oenothera biennis] to these old eyes. 4 petals on the flowers
would convince me. [Loosestrife has 5] A good picture of the
flowers, if not the whole plant, is at

The shrub above has a lot of small white blooms in early spring - this
is a small one, there is a larger one near it that I can not get to to
take a picture (behind some other shrubs on a neighbor's property and
he is...well, not friendly) and any ideas to help me search for it
online would be great. I wanted to get a picture while the large one
was blooming but it wasn't possible.


Perhaps Honeysuckle? Does it get lots of berries, too?

This is a weed I posted earlier but without blooms (I had never seen
it blooming until now) and so here is a picture with blooms.


Thimbleweed? Anemone virginiana

None of the others ring any bells with me.
