Critter - here are the plants in question...

Here is the ??? w/the nice scent - IMHO

Here are those balls on a stick I was talking about at the McD's

I like these that were growing beside it too....wondering what they are and if hummers or butterflies would be attracted to them...here's the red

And yes, if you were wondering, I was getting odd looks from folks...came very close to pointing my camera at these 2 sitting in a car watching me the entire time
Here's the oranger bloom...this was a "drive-by" photo so not so great.

Top one is the ornamental Oregano?

You sure the "balls on a stick" is not the seedpod to the flower itself?? (which I have no idea what is - Daisy of some sort?

I know they look alike huh? Hey..ya wanna meet at that McD's tomorrow night at around 11PM? I'll bring a flash light, scissors, and baggies for the seed heads. After that we can hit the Olive Garden for rocks.

Uhu - I have plenty of cash in the bank to bail your behind out of jail too!

I think your ball on a stick is helenium "Autumn Lollipop." http://www.djroger.com/autumn_lollipop_helenium.htm

The lower photos sure look like zinnias to me.

Hey Chantell, the first one is the one I gave to you. It's a Vick's Plant or Mentholatum Plant
(Plectranthus cylindraceus) - http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/2669/ I think some also call it ornamental oregano, but I originally bought it as a Vick's Plant.
