More plant IDs

deanna in ME Barely zone 6a, more like 5b

I've searched and searched for a couple of these. Then I thought that they might not be weeks, but wildflowers. Regardless, I can't find their identity. Your help is appreciated!

The plant in the first two pics has dark zig zag stems with bright foliage. I've been waiting for the buds to open, and they are disappointing, for sure. They're the minuscule white protrusions in the first photo.

This next is a tall bush. To be honest, I haven't searched for this one yet. (Posting because I'm lazy, I suppose.)

This next snuck in with the coneflower seedings. Leaf is similar, but narrower. Flower has four petals, pink/white, very tiny.

Just in case anybody would like to know, the top plant (which was a challenge to identify because the flowers hadn't bloomed fully) is a white wood aster (Eurybia divaricata), a woodland native. That means it stays. :-D

The second is lesser burdock. That means it goes, even though you can eat it.

The third is a weedy form of Epilobium. There are some less common forms and they all look very similar. 99% sure mine is a weed. That means it goes, too.

I was going to "take a couple of minutes" to remove the lesser burdock today. I got the big plant down and was rewarded with the sight of 15-20 smaller versions behind it. So much for "a couple of minutes." Those guys even seeded under a Norway Maple, and they looked happy.
