Hi Summer It looks like the leaves are kind of thick/rigid. Is that right? They also look like they have jagged ends. Am I seeing that right also? Am I looking at the right plants here?
The yellow flower is an Inca merigold. It's in a different pot. This has to be some type of common annual plant, but it's ok that I don't know what it is. It just gets little white blooms all up and down the stems.
wcgypsy suggested Penstemon. I'm not familiar with Penstemon but the growth habit of the plant in your photo does look similar: http://www.google.com/search?q...
