tulips

Well whatever they are, they are obscure even if they are in a former herb or formal perennial flower garden. They still all look like naturalized roadside weed flowers to me, many of which are edible and medicinal if you are into that sort of thing. Using your pictures and good descriptions, here are some wild guesses you can wander down. I'll give you the tiny Knotweed, a Polygonum sp. though I am seeing hints the genus may have been changed to Persicaria. The top large leaf described as Cup Plant like is in the Asteraceae. Look in Rudbeckia, Helianthus and of course Silphium. The seed pods of the pink and white flower ginger smelling one remind me of some hibiscus - Sida specifically, Hollyhock and mallows. The leaves are all wrong though. My wild guess for the vase shaped wiry red stems is a Hawkweed, Hieracium sp., probably wrong, but definitely in the Asteraceae.

Thank you.

Pictures… im afraid the pics are not very clear. the main stem is now at about 1.5 feet tall as i have taken out the top by more then 2/3. and it about 1/2” thick. it has four lateral branches growing, out of those the front three (facing the camera) are much thicker (about 1/4” or more at the base) while the 4th branch is thin. @ken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5 can you please suggest what i need to do to move it successfully? what care it needs after transplant? i once tried to move a volunteer sassafrass and thad did not end up well, partly because deer kept nibbling the plant, but mainly i think due to bad drainage. it succumbed after about two years. I am hoping this one will grow in a mostly shady spot. the location i have in mind doesnt get much direct sun in bottom 6 feet, but plenty of bright light. once the tree reaches 6’ sun will not be a problem. I am dreaming of a low branching tree. front view Top view (almost top) another angle
