Expert Response

Thank you for writing.
I can't tell without flowers. Do you think that the plants in Left and Center are the same?
If you sent me a close up of two leaves of each plant, I might do better.

One of the plants in the center photo is the same as the one on the left.  Another in the center photo is the same type as the one on the right I believe.
I'm including more photos: close ups of three different plants.

Thank you for writing back.
The center is Bloodflower a kind of Milkweed.
I think the right is Three seeded mercury. https://www.minnesotawildflowers.info/flower/three-seeded-mercury

I cannot tell about the left. Let it bloom.
