Re: small perennial clump

Definitely hepatica. Flowers come out in a little bouquet. Then leaves follow.

Re: flower without leaves

Lycoris squamigera--naked lady lily. Leaves come in spring, die back,
then the flower emerges in August.

Re: Not a tomato plant!

That is a big bad weed--pull it out before it drops seed. Looks like a nettle with prickly stems. Wear gloves.

Looks like some kind of bittersweet to me. Is the plant vining?

Re: peculiar perennial

That is a Kirengeshoma Palmata. Kirengeshoma means "yellow lotus hat" in Japanese I think. Also known as "wax bells". I have this plant in part shade in zone 4B. I love it.

Re: Hillside nightmare - HELP

Grasses. Daylilies. Stonecrop sedum in between. You could terrace it, too, and make two level garden areas.

Re: Tuber or fungus? Or what?

Yup---that's a Jack-in-the-Pulpit seed pod. I have them all over the place.

Re: White flowered June blooming full shade plant

That is an actaea, just like you thought. Different types bloom at different times in the season. I have one that blooms in mid June and another that blooms in October.
