we identified the grape hyacinth... 7 more to go :)

The second one might be Hesperis/Sweet Rocket or Lunaria/Honesty-not sure, third & fourth are Sweet William/Dianthus barbatus and the last pic is of Chrysanthemum.

The fifth plant is garlic mustard.

#2 is definitely Dame's Rocket/Hesperis matronalis.

jaynine: u wouldnt happen to know what the scientific name is for that chrysanthemum would you? we also have a chrysanthemum leucanthemum/ oxeye daisy, so we would definitely need to figure out what the yellow one is called

thank you all so much! u have helped a lot! we(my daughter and i) have been working on this science project for weeks and have just realy been struggling with some of these wild flowers we found!

No, I'm afraid I can't accurately identify that chrysanthemum. Maybe someone else can help.

I found it! the last pic is a Chrysanthemum.Dendranthema/wild chrysanthemum

yay! thanks 4 ur help in pointing me in the right direction jaynine, i would have never found it if i didnt know it was a chrysanthemum :)

I think the first one might be a Claytonia, but am not sure which one as there are different ones...ie Virginica, caroliniana, etc.

Here is a link that might be useful: Your link made clickable

Knowing the scale on the first one might help.

Another vote for Hesperis for #2

#6... Just wanted to say that I love that you even noticed this sweet little thing. I love all the tiny flowers in the grass, when they are there to be found. No idea what it is, tho.

#8 Is that blooming now? Is it growing in IN? In a garden or more wild place? I'm not terribly familiar with mums, but don't know of any kind that would be blooming now in Indiana, although it sure looks like a mum. They're known for being late-bloomers. Are the petals kind of stiff? Could it be a Helichrysum, straw flower?

The suggestion on your FB album, Skeleton-leaf Goldeneye doesn't seem possible in your location.

You might find this interesting whether it's a mum or not, (from wikipedia.) The genus once included a larger number of species, but was split several decades ago into several genera. The naming of the genera has been contentious, but a ruling of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature in 1999 resulted in the defining species of the genus being changed to Chrysanthemum indicum, thereby restoring the economically important florist's chrysanthemum to the genus Chrysanthemum. During the period between the splitting of the genus and the ICBN ruling, these species have customarily been included under the genus name Dendranthema.

The other species previously included in the narrow view of the genus Chrysanthemum are now transferred to the genus Glebionis. The other genera separate from Chrysanthemum include Argyranthemum, Leucanthemopsis, Leucanthemum, Rhodanthemum, and Tanacetum.
