Katerina, pick up a new england field guide, it will help you immensely in identifying flora and fauna ;)
though insects and flowers are tough to distinguish from one another, especially at the immature stage.

To OakenHeart,
Can you help and try to identify them? I have a new england field guide, and am still having trouble. I would like to know the names of some of these. I think flora 2 is a blue toad flax.

Washington Irving would of said as he did of his friend,

Richard Sullivan Fay...

“He who plants an oak, looks forward to future ages, and plants for prosperity. Nothing can be less selfish than this. He cannot expect to sit in its shade, nor enjoy its shelter; but he exults in the idea that the acorn which he has buried in the earth grow up into a lofty pile, and shall keep on flourishing and increasing and benefiting mankind, long after he shall have ceased to tread his paternal fields.”
