#1. Chard type plant - Leaves are bit smaller than swiss chard and taste bit salty. Much better tasting than swiss chard, don't have the bitter flavor.

Another angle-

#2. Lambs quarters?

1. looks like Spinach beet aka Perpetual spinach.

2. does look like something in the Chenopodiaceae but I don’t think it is Chenopodium album, Lambs Quarters. The leaves appear too fleshy and glossy. I imagine California has lots of species.

Can you photograph the flowers of the last one? I can see some but not in detail. I’m wondering if it is some sort of Fumaria. F capreolata perhaps?

Thanks everyone! I looked at a pic of Lonicera fragrantissima and I think the 2nd shrub is that, flowers look identical. Sorry for the lack of photo of the flower, I took a couple but they came out really blurry. Esh, thank you for the info on the native Trillium. We have cleared about 1/4 acre ivy from the property (without chemicals, just by pulling and digging!) - although not in this area - and I'm keen to include a lot of natives as we plant.

Mike, seeing a better closeup of the second plant, it could be a haworthia as was my first guess. go to this page: http://www.succulent-plant.com/families/aloaceae/haworthia.html scroll down to middle of the page, click on middle picture, labeled H. greenii. Does that look like it ? patty

I can't really tell because he's turned his face away from the camera =) However, from the 'toothy' edge of the leaves, I'm going to guess aeonium haworthii of some kind.

You tasted an unknown plant ? That could have been a very bad mistake. I would never taste something I'm not familiar with.
