They're sent to me from other people to ID. I believe they should be either from China or the US. #10, I don't really have any hopes for ID'ing it...but if anyone knows...... #1. Myosotis hmm, the leaves look really large, but I'll go look at keys for the species. Any idea for #6?

First one is a pigweed (Amaranthus Sp.) Get rid of it before it drops all those seeds! HTH Chris

I know Bakersfield! :D You can live there... I don't even want to live as far south as Fresno! I understand your need. When I started growing tropicals, there was no information at all on half the plants I owned. Half the reason I was on here was to share what I'd learned through trial and ERROR. Also, you have to wade through the information about tropicals growing in humid conditions, and weed that out. Puya's need most excellent drainage.... but they aren't cacti, so they'll need more water the more drainage they get. I have mine in a clay pot, one of the few plants I put in a clay pot. I have a lot of time, being disabled, but I have still found that if I don't have too many plants, I give them better care.... that's awful news to tropical lovers. :D Since you live in sub desert conditions, I'd sink your plants in the ground. Unless we have another freaky winter like last year, most of yours will survive fine outside during the winter. If you are lucky, thank you global warming, your habanero might even survive, but I thought they needed more humidity than Bakersfield could possibly provide. :D I tried growing them, but gave up when the cats dug them up.... :( I am now trying cut my water usage, cept in the tropical area of my garden. good luck! have fun! :D

I was immediately reminded of Digitalis lanata and see peren went there too. It has been too many years since I grew Grecian Foxglove so I can't remember for sure if this is a match but the seed pods are what took me to that suggestion. I collect a lot of seeds and I know for sure I collected seed from mine so I would have looked at the pods pretty closely. So maybe?
