I don't know anything about plants, can someone help me figure out what the names of these common flowers are? thanks! 1. http://img135.imageshack.us/content.php?page=done&l=img135/7200/march2008286ow0.jpg 2. http://img88.imageshack.us/content.php?page=done&l=img88/3964/march2008285xc9.jpg 3. http://img229.imageshack.us/content.php?page=done&l=img229/8964/march2008288un2.jpg 4.http://img88.imageshack.us/content.php?page=done&l=img88/5418/march2008294pp4.jpg
1 is somewhat familiar but I can't quite place it 2 is something that I've been trying to get ID'd as well - we'll see what happens here. 3 is Oxalis, possibly O. tuberosum. If it is O. tuberosum it will have edible tubers that resemble baby potatoes when you dig it up. 4 reminds me of something in the Malvaceae, but I'm not sure what.... You have many of the same plants that grow here in Ecuador.
Mexican hat, Ratibida columnifera Prairie verbena, Verbena bipinnatifida Sour grass, Oxalis sp. Mexican Evening Primrose, Oenothera speciosa
Glandularia bipinnatifida For the most part verbenas are now Glandularia and vervains are still Verbena -- go figure!
