Can someone help me identify these plants?

I have a few pictures of plants that I would like to know the name of. One is of a plant a friend of my mom gave me, I was told it is an herb can be eaten raw or in soups. It smells like oregano to me. The second set of pics are of a flowering bush of some sort. The pictures are too large to upload so I can email it to whomever is willing to reply to this post. Thank You in advance!

Try the 'Name That Plant' forum! :-) A lot of the photos posted there are quite large, so the size of your photos probably won't be a problem.

Here is a link that might be useful: Name That Plant forum

Thank You Stacy! I didn't realize the Name that plant forum until after I posted the message and browsed around.
I then tried, but my pictures being at least 1mb was still too large. I'll try to find a way to post them! Thanks for the quick response.

Thank you Jay and Hopeful. I am so very excited to know exactly what plant it is. I spent hours on the internet browsing pictures of plants and I thought it was some sort of a ficus so I started to spray it with water. It seems to be helping, since there are more leaves coming out. I wonder if I should just continue doing that or stop. Once again thank you for your responses.

It grows around Central Texas east of here.Sometimes the cops think it is Marijuana and arrest the people for it. Idiots. IT is an annual so get to it before it seeds.

Put the word "Photobucket" in the Search box below, & I'm sure you'll come up with posts explaining how to use that site & post pix within your messages.

If not, holler again & when I have a free minute, I'll explain...or someone else will! :)
