Hi Theresa,

Here are my guesses:

   1.  This one's tough.  Is it a vine?  If so, Actinidia arguta
   2.  A Nepeta of some sort.  It's tough without scale, but maybe Nepeta
       subsessilis?
   3.  ???  Looks like it's in Ericaceae, but I kill anything ericaceous here
   4.  Salvia?  Scrophularia?  Penstemon?  I can't even tell if the stems
       are square or not.  :(
   5.  Obviously a phlox, but I don't know which one.  It makes me think
       of Phlox carolina 'Bill Baker', but this is late for it to be 
       blooming
   6.  Clethra alnifolia
   7.  ???
   8.  Ostrya virginiana

I'm not sure how much these help.  :)  Are there larger versions of the
photos anywhere?

Chris
