Gall insects are an example of commensalism called shelter symbiosis.
The insect benefits and the plant is unaffected by the relationship.

This is a type of raspberry (Ribes sp.).
I agree. This is common tansy, also known as golden buttons.
This reminds me of toothwort (Cardamine concatenata) but not certain from the pictures.
I believe that this is a type of meadow foxtail (Alopecurus sp.).
Its a type of goldenrod (Solidago sp.). Maybe S. canadensis or S. altissima.
