The first is this tropical looking leafy plant

This looks like some kind of fern.

This is a subtropical looking plant that's naturalized here, it's got these white blooms in the last pic

1st, Crinum, not sure what sp. though until it flowers

No. 2 Asparagus Fern

3rd is Black Locust, Robinia  pseudoacacia.. A highly invasive tree endemic to certain parts of the U.S. but naturalized in many other areas

Thanks, I think the first one is crinum asiaticum specifically 

The third one is actually native to states like Pennsylvania, definitely not subtropical like I thought, I figured it was native South Asia.

For all of it's faults, Black Locust is actually a decent tree.. Flowers are definitely attractive. It's how well it can seed that makes it an aggressive or invasive spreader under the right conditions.. 

Would find specimens growing next to certain creeks in my old neighborhood back in San Jose ( CA. ) Folks who moved west brought the species to parts of the Sierra Nevada foothills during the gold rush days.

"Purple Robe " is supposedly a less aggressive form of pseudoacacia.  Dark Magenta flowers are spectacular ..for a temperate- climate tree.

Black locust is also a desirable and expensive hardwood lumber.  I once owned a funky old house, circa 1870, with a mature  tree.  It had a perfectly cylindrical main trunk about 36 inches diameter and 12 feet long.  I sold the property, but sometimes wonder if I left value behind by not harvesting the tree.

This is a deciduous tree that I've seen a lot in Georgia and Florida, don't know the type?

Thinking Acer, ( Maple ).. but not exactly sure which..  Leaves are too small for Sycamore ( Platanus ) ..Not lobed enough for Sweetgum ( Liquidamber )

[Emman]

Went to a bald cypress swampy area and found some ferns and what I think is an alocasia 

The mystery swamp ferns?

Maybe alocasia, don't know which kind

This is from a drier piney area

I think this is boston ferns growing wild, I thought they were only native to Florida(and a zone 9 fern), must have escaped cultivation 

This is most likely autumn ferns

Red Maple - Acer Rubrum.

Messy trees and hard on lawns and things like sidewalks, driveways etc due to their shallow damaging roots that go everywhere.  My whole neighborhood was planted with them when it was built in the mid 90's - two in front of each house.  Fast forward almost 30 years, and they've wrecked everyone's sidewalks, or at least those who didn't remove them in time.

The Alocasia - looking plant may be Duck Potato, Sagittaria latifolia

Definitely not a good street / curb-side  tree choice for sure.. Look great where they have space to spread out though.
