Sounds like allium, ornamental onions. The best way to buy them is as bulbs, in the fall. Aren't they fun? Here is a link that might be useful: Allium images

Poinsettias are sprayed with growth retardants to keep them small. When I first moved to FL, I worked at PanAmerian Plants (Now Ball-PanAm)and helped grow poinsettias. One year, someone mixed the growth retardant wrong and burned the whole crop. The flowers on that one look like a Christmas Rose poinsettia. I've seen them hanging over the top of an 8 foot wall in Plant City. I've never been able to get a store-bought one to survive. It's hard, because it can take them years to grow out of the growth retardant. They're hard to root. You have to "seal" the bottoms with a lighter or by touching it to a hot stovetop (covered with aluminum foil so as not to get the sap on the burner) to stop the sap from flowing out, and they need a lot of humidity. I got one to root once by making a "greenhouse" with a 1-gallon pickle jar over the pot.

Discoqueen - it's an elder bush. Sambucus nigra - a very common self sowing native. You will need to cut it right down and then, if you can't dig out the roots, apply some sort of brush killer to the stumps. Before anyone says, why destroy an edible, these things are native here and sprout all over the place. They are a bit too common and a bit too large to tolerate in our small gardens.
