The second one is a flower called "Prairie Smoke." They are also sometimes called Purple Avens. The are native to the US Prairie and are one of the earliest bloomers in the spring. The wispy tops reminded people of smoke.

Rick,

Nice images. You are putting it to good use.

The first image appears to be a mallow of some type, perhaps a marsh mallow.

The last image is wild Phlox, also called Dames Rocket.
