Winter can be a great time in the Garden. Scenes from Ontario Canada

Re: Worried this might be invasive - it appeared on its own in several places

Could be Helleborine pactus - a native Orchid. You'll know when it flowers. It is weed that is hard to get rid of. Grows by underground runners. Try Roundup - you will not get rid of it by pulling it out.

Re: This plant popped up

It looks like Anemone canadensis. If the leaves are joined right to the stem with no petiole, then it is canadensis. It it has a petiole, then it is most likely sylvestris.

Canadensis seems to spread in the shade and makes smaller plants spaced farther apart. I grow one in full sun and it flowers all summer long, but it is growing in size. In sun it makes a tight clump - one of my favorite plants.

Re: Clueless

Looks like Filipendula vulgaris.
