I'd have said:
1. Cornflower 2. Monkey Flower (Mimulus). It's a cute native! Linda |

Yes, the other is Mimulus ringens known as Monkey Flower. It recently changed families and names so it was difficult for me to look up under it's old name of Scrophulariaceae.

I went outside and looked closely at part of a blossom that had fallen off the "Monkey Plant". I saw two eyes., so identity confirmed.
I thought that it was a very pretty blossom, now it is kind of creepy. I can't imagine enjoying one of the more prominent monkey face blossoms looking up at me. The plant does indeed like its current location, nice and wet and shady. It's still in a tray up against the house, under the hose bib and shaded by a giant Burning Bush. I will take more pics of the 1st and 3rd as they bloom. - Lisa |

The Cupid's Dart is a great plant, well-behaved for me. Can't think of the name for the second plant...

Lisa, I have been wondering about what you have. It is very nice that some have been identified. I do hope you enjoy them.
When I first this thread back a few months ago, I thought to myself, I have ten acres of Native Perennial Weeds ![]()

I don't know that 9 was identified, but I am pretty sure it is milkweed for Monarch butterfly attracting. I have it all over my yard.

Some of the other plants above that I thought were milkweed are also turning out to be Money Plant. Still more to bloom. - Lisa |

A new chartreuse plant popped up in a few pots and now one is in bloom.
The smaller woody plant was from an exchange, and I would like to know what it is. It was holding its own but not thriving in the shade, so I moved it to a sunnier spot. |

The chartreuse plant is talinum limon. I love adding it to my planters for the bright green foliage as well as the airy pink flowers. Seeds are easily saved for next season.
