ncrescue..so THAT'S what I have ! Italian arum. It was a houseplant given to me and I tossed it on the compost pile in the woods. Didn't plant it. Now it hasn't grown bigger or spread but it's a dependable and interesting rich green against the leaves. What I have out there in native abundance is mayapples. Every tree that falls down brings more dappled light and the mayapples spread by underground shoots. Used to try and avoid stepping on them but now there are so many I don't watch where I'm stepping anymore.

Three down, one to go......I asked for help from a local gardening group and was able to get all but one of my "unknown" weeds identified. Number #2 has been sucessfully identfied as GARLIC MUSTARD Number #3 is PRICKLY LETTUCE (thanks jean001) Number #4 isnt even a weed....its a BLACK LOCUST TREE

Looks like grubs to me
