Tom, if that first plant is indeed Uvularia puberula, you have found a rarely seen Pine Barren Bellwort. I have a few in Bamber, found only in Mid-May at the transition zone between swamp and dry heath. What you have there may be a different species, but my money is betting on early Pine Barren Bellwort.
Tom, if you find one of these in Browns Mills, call me and I'll come running.

"Welwitschia mirabilis was discovered by the Austrian botanist, explorer and medical doctor, Friedrich Welwitsch, in 1859 in the Namib Desert of southern Angola. The story goes that he was so overcome by his find that he knelt down next to it and simply stared!"

Tom, where were you, someone's backyard, or perhaps behind a school or near a farm? Not many of them seem to be common PB species.
They look like Lilacs to me.There is a tree on the Pemberton Bypass across from the B.C.C. baseball fields that is over 30 feet tall and the Lilacs are very striking when the sun shines right.
