These (and many other) wildflowers grow around my summer place in
Eastern Ontario, Canada during the month of June. Could someone please
let me know what they are.

Denny,

Number 4 is what I always called "Devil's Paintbrush". Yellow is the most
common color but I've also seen them in orange. They are plentiful in
Maine.

I'm terrible at recognizing things from pictures unless they're also in my
garden, but I'll take a couple wild guesses.

Maybe some kind of PHLOX.

http://home.ca.inter.net/~deniswb/wildflower2.jpg
Some kind of HARDY CRANE'S-BILL GERANIUM

http://home.ca.inter.net/~deniswb/wildflower3.jpg
Some sort of FOXGLOVE

http://home.ca.inter.net/~deniswb/wildflower4.jpg
Some sort of knautia (hooboy that's a feeble guess, I almost guessed milkweed)

http://home.ca.inter.net/~deniswb/wildflower5.jpg
Beats me, but it sure is some kind of cute.

Look like the flowers have four petals. Dame's Rocket (Hesperis matronalis)
Alien
(Phlox, which another poster mentioned, has five petals.)

http://home.ca.inter.net/~deniswb/wildflower2.jpg

Herb Robert (Geranium robertium)
Alien

http://home.ca.inter.net/~deniswb/wildflower3.jpg

Penstemon, I think. Maybe hairy beardtongue (Penstemon hirsutis)
Native wildflower

http://home.ca.inter.net/~deniswb/wildflower4.jpg

The leaves are low rosette? Some sort of hawkweed (Heiracium).
Alien
Possibilities include smooth hawkweed and king devil

http://home.ca.inter.net/~deniswb/wildflower5.jpg

I think this is heal-all (Prunella vulgaris).

Could be phlox, but phlox usually has five petals

I have these too! They sprang up out of a bag of wildflower seed I
bought at the local hardware store. Very pretty. I have no idea what
it is, but I'm harvesting the seeds for next year.

http://home.ca.inter.net/~deniswb/wildflower2.jpg

Herb Robert (geranium family)

http://home.ca.inter.net/~deniswb/wildflower3.jpg

Lyre-leaf sage, I think (mint family)

http://home.ca.inter.net/~deniswb/wildflower4.jpg

Yellow hawkweed or Two-flowered Cynthia (both in sunflower family)

http://home.ca.inter.net/~deniswb/wildflower5.jpg

Heal-all


Many thanks in advance.

2. cranesbill
3. penstemon (beardtongue)
4. tickseed

Thanks, Pat.
