I'm a nature guide in Harrison ME and I could use some help figuring these plants out! I've never been this far east before! Please help with as many or as few as you can! Thank you.

Ranunculus bulbosus isn't native to anywhere in the "new world" but is a European plant that has naturalized widely here.
The fact that the basal leaves aren't showing makes it harder to ID. Although the flower is a little out of focus, I'm seeing upturned sepals on the flower at the top of the photo, which would exclude Ranunculus bulbosus (which has down-turned sepals.) Ranunculus acris seems more likely, which is another European/Eurasian plant that has naturalized here. The flowers of acris and bulbosus do look very similar except for the sepals.

Actually, I think only the Houstonia, Sisyrinchium and possibly the Potentilla are native. Oh, and possibly the Myosotis if it is Myosotis laxa rather than the other introduced species.
