    sometimes when i go on trips i just collect seeds indiscriminately and...
    well.. one of them sprung from a seed that i dont ever remember collecting
    and bloomed into the pretty pink flower...

  3. Left one is gaillardia, or blanket flower. The right one is a dahlia, maybe?

    The pink flower is likely Callistephus chinensis (China aster).
     
  6. Coreopsis tinctoria and ?

    I believe that the left image represents Coreopsis tinctoria, due to the glabrous stem. Gaillardias are noted by thick, pubescent, almost ridged stems, overall bulkier morphology. The pink one has me stymied. Can you provide a foliage shot?
