    #11 Malus sylvestris? maybe. Others more expert with trees will probably correct that. Common name Crab apple, an ancestor of the present day Apple trees. Harry

    I don't think the first one (purple top left) is wisteria. the flowers are too tubular and not "lipped" like the typical legume flower.

    Wisteria is also not in up right flower heads. the foliage if it is associated with the flowers is not typical of a wisteria either. sorry L.Plant just IMHO!!

    Also the one Id'd as a syringa (its got a purplish background plant 010.jpg) I think we are dealing with a compound leaf here and not a set of true leaves. if you look at the bottom left you see a petiole and what looks like a bud in the axil.

    #1 looks like a vetch, maybe Vicia cracca.

    Re: retakes

    I think David from LA is correct in that purple.jpg is a vetch. Either Vicia cracca or perhaps Vicia villosa? (my suggestion). Both have the one-sided inflorescence. Given David from LA's propensity to be correct, I would look at his suggestion first. :) Harry

    #3 and #10 are the dreaded Ailanthus altissima (a seedling and mature plant respectively)
    #4 might be as well
