Ontario Aster (Symphyotrichum ontarionis)Observer
nata_culhaneDescription
Very unsure. Reasons it could be Ontario: basal leaves narrowly winged, spatula-shaped (unlike S. lanceolatum). Reason it could not be Ontario: leaf underside appears hairless (I think Ontario should have thin layer of hair all along underside)?

White Flat-topped Goldenrod (Solidago ptarmicoides)Observer
nata_culhaneDescription
Looks similar to S. lanceolatum (the top suggestion by iNaturalist), but I believe this is S. ptarmicoides as the leaves are thinner, flowers are only at the ends of stems, general shape of the plant is flat-topped, whereas I think S. lanceolatum has flowers all throughout, sparsely arranged.

Swamp Aster (Symphyotrichum puniceum)Observer
nata_culhaneDescription
This might be S. firmum, but as S. puniceum is generally hairier (see image 2), and more common, ID-ing as such.
