All of these were found while hiking a trail within 20 feet of a small stream in southwest Virginia. I'm especially curious about the small plant with the white flowers. After spending over 2 hours scouring google, i give up. LOL. help ? :D

The first pic is Virginia Pennywort (Obolaria virginica) a monotypic genus in the Gentian Family (Gentianaceae), native to the central and eastern United States. It is a mycoheterotrophic species native to undisturbed woodland settings.

The second pic (velvety) remains unidentified.

The third pic (74) is likely a Violet (Viola sp.)

The fourth pic (67) is Golden Alexander (Zizia aurea) in the Celery Family (Apiaceae), native to eastern and central North America.

The fifth and sixth pics (52 & 12) are Wild Crane's-bill (Geranium maculatum)
