I have been lucky to find a few more plants coming up. I think these are a species of monkey flower, a spikenard & a highbush cranberry. Would like a second opinion, please.

Ah, thank you. I was wondering why I couldn't get any comments. Lol

So, I was right on two of them. That's good, at least. Hopefully, there's another spikenard somewhere & I'll get some fruit. The viburnum was throwing me off because I hadn't seen one whose Fruit was developing like tha except Nannyberry, & that has different leaves. Too bad it's not a good one, though.

I don't know where you are, but to me the second picture looks more like the wild sarsparilla (Aralia nudicaulis) we have here. The leaves seem rounder than spikenard (A racemosa), but I'm just going by pictures. We don't have spikenard here, just the sarsparilla.
