Where you live will leave a clue but offhand it looks like a red oak seedling or an oak seedling of some sort

Mind if I bounce a few more off you? I went on a little hike today and found some that I'm not sure of.

Sure, once in a while I am right. Not often though

I posted a new thread with the pictures here : https://www.gardening-forums.com/threads/more-mysterious-plants-today-on-my-hike-d.2404/

That small one with white flowers is driving me nuts. Can't find a look alike anywhere.

I vote red oak as well - its some sort of oak! Unless you want a tree in that spot you might want to pull it out.

The little seedling does look very much like a baby oak tree of some kind. If it is not where you want a tree, try transplanting it. Just make sure you dig deep so you do not cut off the taproot and get a good ball of soil with it.

I was going to say it looked like an oak seedling too, but he beat me to it. And I wouldn't have been able to say what type of oak, just that it was an oak, lol.

I have seen this before but off the top of my head I am not sure what it is. It does look like a red oak plant but still I wouldn't be 100% sure. I guess you could look at some of the other plants were you are at and see if you could find a match. But I would look on the web and look at some plants on there you might be able to have more luck there.
