Thank you! It's been driving me nuts for 10 years. They are growing wild in my back yard and are soo pretty in the winter when the leaves turn white.
#2 Looks like a perennial Marigold to me such as Tagetes lemmonii http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/134259/ HTH Chris
To estimate the size, imagine that the entire picture is about 1 sq foot in size. The leaves and small blooms seem delicate and fragile, but they are really hardy and seem to climb like a vine.
