Does anyone know these? I'm not totally sure they are native but the pics were taken by someone who says they were growing by the roadside in south Texas.
Back and need I D help
I do not know the names of them but I have seen these growing along HWY 64 between Canton and Tyler in years past.
Searching- 2 reminds me of a Columbine...or maybe a gaura. Hmmm, Clammyweed I dont think so.
1 needs better leaf and flower pic. Have seen them, but not recently enough- maybe a germander?

I can't help you, but I'm glad you're back. Mike, I'm glad you're back, too!
Glad you are back, and as usual I have no clue
The white flowered one is Scorpion Tail (Heliotropium angiospermum), a great nectar plant for small species of butterflies (hairstreaks, blues, skippers). Don't recognize the other one.
