Willamette Valley, Oregon. 4 looks like rhubarb but I’m not sure because there’s one the in the front yard that has redder stalks and the leaves aren’t shiny, which I’m pretty sure is rhubarb. Bonus iris at the end. Can anyone identify the species? Hoping it’s an Oregon native?
Thanks!!

1. Lonicera nitida (not native)
2. Galium odoratum (non-native and aggressive)
3. Aegopodium podagraria (**invasive** even if it’s the less vigorous variegated variant) with native Dicentra formosa in the middle
4. Acanthus mollis (invasive in “California”, unsure of behavior in “Oregon”, would remove too)
5. EDIT: Phlox subulata (non-native; thank you u/floating_weeds_)
6. ??? Caprifoliaceae??? Weigela sp.??? [https://www.gardentap.ca/products/weigela-florida-spilled-wine-bokraspiwi-pp23781-copf-cpbr4655-spilled-wine-weigela](https://www.gardentap.ca/products/weigela-florida-spilled-wine-bokraspiwi-pp23781-copf-cpbr4655-spilled-wine-weigela) (not native)
Not sure of all. I’m in eastern US.
But 3 is what we call snow on the mountain. It’s used for cover in shady areas that won’t grow grass well.
4 is not rhubarb.
5 is creeping phlox we grow that a lot and in various colors.
7 is blue flag or blue iris. It grows wild in a lot of our wetlands.
