Phenology Exercise

I took to the UC Berkeley campus and some of its fields and more wooded areas to find some examples of flowering/non flowering and leafing/bare plants. Although I wasn't able to ID all the plants I found, I believe they are good examples of flowering and leaf phenology. My leafing plant appears very healthy, green and full of leafs. My non leafing plant is extremely bare, looks dry and was kind of all over the place in terms of how it laid. There was a lot of Bermuda Buttercup plant that had tons of small, yellow flowers, exemplifying flowering phenology. My non flowering plant, seems to have some dried flowers on it, but remains un-flowered and bare.

I added a couple more pictures, as some of my observations had no ID on them. I did my best to ID the plants I saw ~ It's a little hard to get ID's if you don't know the name of them yourself, and neither do fellow inats? Any advise on how to ID plants better would be great, as we're suppose to have Research Grade work.
