    At least maybe. These two plants grow in disturbed areas (my gardens). As such I suspect they're "alien species". Does anyone recognize them?

    Hi, I think that the firsts plants that have yellow flowers are Zinnia, likely Zinnia peruviana.

    Of what I am sure is that all species (The others also) are from the Compositae family.

    The two at left look like Acmella sp.
    The other two remind me of genus Erechtites. You need to see flowers.
