    Have a few flowers from AZ that need to know who they are, I would like to know also. If you can help, click ARIZONA. Any help would be great.

    "C" is definitely Mistletoe and "P" is Bougainvillea.

    C is mistletoe; E is silverleaf mightshade; and F is dayflower (spiderwort family).
    Someone else with more knowledge may identify them differently, and will probably be right!

    Thank you both, that's a couple done.



    Hi marlingardener I think it is N instead of M. I checked it out with google, did you also mean F not E. A good help, thank you.

    A - looks like Mexican Petunia, tall variety
    C - Mistletoe
    D - Oenothera caespitosa
    G - Penstemon of some variety
    H - an Aloe
    J - Penstemon cobaea
    K - possibly a Mahonia aquifolium
    P - Bougainvillea
    O - Possibly a Cape Aloe
    S - one of the sensitive briars - of the Mimosa Species
    X - looks like a Staghorn Cholla

    This website will probably give you the ID of the rest, I just ran out of time to look thru any more of my books.

    Kildale, yes, it is Nightshade, not with an M (my fingers got ahead of my mind). It is the violet flower with the golden center.

    Many of the Arizona wildflowers are also Texas natives so I was able to find them in my books. My grandsons were coming over for the evening so I ran out of time, hope you are able to get the rest of the ID'ed

    The way the stems and leaves (what I can see) of W look, it reminds me of a Buddleia, though Im not sure about the flowers.

    I jumped on at lunch... and I have to tell you ALL I'm in awe of your knowledge! Of course this is from a woman that has until recently been unsure that dandelions are weeds, but still. :stew1:
