Possible Haworthia fasciata? Interesting look, ribs don't have the prominent white that some of the varieties of that appearence have.

I agree with Nil's ID on the 1st (but with a slight tweak on spelling: Sedum nussbaumerianum). On the 2nd, I would say a type of Rhipsalis, but there are so many, I don't know where to start looking for a species name for you. Have you ever seen it bloom?

I agree with floral_uk; it does look like loosestrife. here in Oregon is is a noxious weed that carries disease. Without being able to see it up close, it's tough to be sure. It is a possibility that it might be Epilobium (fire weed), but the shape of the inflorescence leads me to believe it's Lythrum salicaria.

Thank you Kristin for your advise. I plant only non-invasive species in my garden so I am going to plant the new butterfly Molly (dwarf the non-invasive one) instead - it has similar look and flowers and it is the most compact out of all the butterfly bushes and supposedly non-invasive. Here are some photos from my garden. Love to mingle with nature and study all the deer resistant non-invasive species and help others with my gardening experience. Happy gardening season!. :-) Eva
