Name That Plant!

Please ID these weeds or native plants

9 years ago

I have found a lot of seedlings of (image A1) everywhere this year

I have a lot of A2 every year

A number of summer vegetables were not even sprouted, so I kept trying different vege near by, in a very disorganized way. I am now totally confused what and where I sowed. B, C, or D do not look like any vege I sowed?

.Thank you all. Yep... the most A1 were found right under two October Glory Maples. I have had these trees for 9 years (they were probably two years old or so back then), yet I had never had these seedlings under the trees before. The trees had not started flowering until last year. This year, the trees were pretty with all reddish butterfly look flowers in early spring.

Wow! Quick response. Thanks. You might be right. I will take the descriptions I found about it and give the plant a closer look. You might have nailed it. Any other ideas from anyone else? Thanks

Oh boy!! Well, at this point I'm concentrating mainly on getting the garlic mustard out and only pulling others when they're right in with the GM. Hopefully the 2nd isn't as prolific as the GM, or I'll be in another world of hurt next year! I'm still dealing with the remnants of Jerusalem artichoke as well! Yeesh! OH BTW - could #1 maybe be an Actaea? I'm really hoping not to have to pull it - I've got a bit of it in there and it's actually kind of pretty in a group - I'm gonna keep an eye on it, and see if it blooms and what they look like.

I've sent the picture to a bunch of plant experts. Do you have the nursery name where you purchased it? Perhaps the owner would know more than the clerk. Where in Florida, if I may ask. The people to whom I've sent the photos are well known experts and curators at arboreta. Some work in Florida.

Just wondering if it's an interesting native plant or something that will take over if I leave it alone. It's both.

The reddish butterflies will be the samaras, ie the fruit rather than the flowers. http://statebystategardening.com/images/uploads/blog_photos/Red%20maple%20seeds.jpg

Tiffany, thanks for the ID on A2.
It's a mid to late summer weed for me and hard to spot until it has already gone to seed. It seems to like disturbed soil.
