What's blooming in the woods? part one

Vienna, VA(Zone 7a)

Here are pics of some plants in the wooded area I'm trying to take back from the Japanese stilt grass. The only flowers I can identify are the cardinal flower with the Elephantopus Scaber in the foreground.
# 1 and 5 are the same flower.
# 3 and #4 are mystery plants.

Thanks Kate! I thought that little purple flower looked like a lobelia, but I couldn't find any photos of it online or in books. The pictures of the nettles are not of the same plant and, after looking at the links, I believe one is a false nettle and the other perhaps a stinging nettle. The leaves look different to me. There are a lot of those along a path in the woods, so I think I'll try not to brush up against any of them.
