Sign In to followDefinitely a Potentilla species (Cinquefoil)- without more images it is hard to say which
One of the Bluets, genus Enallagma. It is a Damselfy
This is a Spring Beauty - genus Claytonia. I don't know your flora so I won't guess at the species.
Definitely an Iris, not an Orchid
Consider Limber Honeysuckle, Lonicera diocia for your ID

Lonicera sempervirens isn't known from Michigan and has completely different flowers

Cool Vine - typically grown as an annual in NE US, also called Spanish Flag. Old name is Mina lobata and now is called Ipomoea lobata
You can tell this is a Question Mark by the white markings on wings
Sarcoscypha austriaca would be my guess
Not sure about your damselflies, but maybe it is this species: Banded Demoiselle (Calopteryx splendens)

Not a Sourwood tree as that blooms in late summer. This looks like one of several Vaccinium species, but could be another member of the Heath family. Without more pictures and information such as height, etc then an ID is impossible.
