Top photo is a burr called 'begger's lice'. Most any fall walk outdoors is likely to end with you picking them from your socks, trouserlegs etc. Not a great photo, but these tiny blossoms are about the size of a 'kitchen' match head. Next two shots are 'jewel weed' also called, locally, wild 'touch me not'. It has the seed capsules that explode when touched flinging the seeds out to spread them in a larger area. The sap from the jewel weed is an excellent treatment for poison ivy if you catch that. I've used it myself and can tell you honestly, it works. For a severe case, always consult your physician but for a mild case, if you have access to jewel weed, give it a try.

Very pretty, both! You'd never know the top ones are so small!

Those little pink blossoms really are tiny. They remind me of the blossom from sweet pea vines ... only smaller.
