Is the first pic from a Sweet Bay Magnolia?

2nd looks like a type of tulip from the greenery

i have no idea the second one looked more like an orchid except the leaves were pointier than most orchid leaves i have seen...i looked up sweet bay and the fruit looked very similar except this one was big, probably 4-5 inches ( guessing) and hung downward from a little stem..it looked like (from the photo i saw) the sweet bay fruit pointed upwards( more like a rhododendron bud)

The first one is a magnolia seed pod.

The second I don't know, but it looks a bit like a canna.

The third is beautyberry bush.

The third is definitely not a Callicarpa. It looks familiar, but I haven't quite figured it out yet. This is a Callicarpa (beautyberry)

This is Smilax herbacea, aka carrion flower.

There are other varieties of Smilax, it's possible that the 3rd pic is one of these...but I could be wrong. Still looking...
Do you remember if it was from a tree, shrub, or vine? Smilax are herbaceous vines.
