    Hello, Could someone please help identify these plants please, I know the purple flowers are very common , but i dont know what they are. The 2nd pic is a plant i bought that was in with marigolds, It has not flowered and the leaves are rubbery, not a marigold thats for sure. The 3rd pic my husband brought home ,Someone had left it on their curb in a bag with a sign on it " Take me hoime please" So he brought it home. They have yellow flowers all the way up the stem in spring. Any sugestions?
    The 4th pic is a purple plant with a fuzzy pussy willow like flower on top.
    Thanks in advance nancee.

    Thankyou for your quick reply, Not a very clear pic of the rubbery plant. Well lets hope it flowers soon maybe it will be easier to identify. thanks again nancee.

    The rubbery leaved plant could be an Osteospermum, an African Daisy that often is sold as a bedding plant.

    Thankyou,I looked that up and i believe thats what this is. It is a very pretty flower, I hope it survives the winter zone 5. There are perennials and annuals. Hope it survives. thanks again nancee
