It's a fig! Exact leaf shape and texture don't conform to any standard and are quite variable, especially with seedlings. I've seen that much variation on a single plant. The side views clinched it for me, since the stem, the petioles, and the new bud all have the fig gestalt. The major difference between fig and mulberry is size: fig has bigger, thicker growth all around. New mulberry leaves have two upward pointing bracts where the petiole connects to the stem.

Thanks Jeb I thought it might be :)

Thanks for the kind words Dee! The keys for identifying the 4 different varieties are basically measurements that must be done with the plants in hand. Usually when a variety is given species rank, it is a variety that looks distinctly different, and that's probably the case with the 4 triloba varieties. It may be possible for 2 species to resemble each other, but have quite different DNA, which would warrant being lifted to species. I've already pulled out a few R. triloba this spring. I'm sure that I deadheaded them last fall. I had a big R. hirta that flowered it's head off and I let it go to seed, but I haven't spotted any vollunteers. I grew a double flowered Rudbeckia laciniata called something like Flora Plenna several years ago. I didn't have it for very long, because I could tell it was going to be a major thug. I tried planting a few wild laciniata a few years ago, but the deer ate them entirely to the ground. Now I have Helianthus divaricata and Helianthus groserratus taking over thug duty in that area. The deer like the taste of them too. I bought my first submentosa at a native plant sale on Saturday. I want to get Henry Eilers because me and Henry are friends. Henry is a botanist with a vast amount of knowledge about native plants, prairies, restoration and degradation. He's 88, but gets around better than some 60 year olds. Your 3rd photo of triloba has more sharply pointed leaves. It could just be a phenotype with slightly different genetics. There are a few different Cornus/Swida species that occur in Conneticutt. Can't say for sure which one your's is. It's definately not C. alternifolia, because your vollunteer has an opposite leaf arrangement. C. floridus and C. amomum are possible. A few others are possible too. I do see a benefit to calling the tree forms Swida, because it seperates them from C. floridus and the very different C. canadensis.

The Geranium is a Geranium. What sort depends on what wild species grow where you are. In the last pictures the butterflies are Morning Glories and so are the hearts. If you look carefully you'll see they're coming from the MG plants. The Jacobs Ladder does appear to be JL. In planter 3 you appear to have crabapple (red) and oak (scalloped edge). The small green seedlings are too out of focus and distant to id. Lemon Grass is highly unlikely to have survived a NY winter. The grasses are more likely to be from the bird seed. Your 'Arugula' appears to possibly be a Sow Thistle.
