Im not opening a separate thread for these..
1. White blooming weed. Reminds me of the cough remedy euphorbia




2.something amaranth. Is this Rumex? Because I am looking for Rumex obtusifolius



3. Is this R. obtusifolius










4. Which fir / pine?







5. Exploding cucumber? Some weird burdock?

#1 Reminds me of European Turn-Sole (Heliotropium europaeum)

Your conifer is a member of Cedrus sp. Will need to see some reproductive structures to separate, but lean toward Cedrus libani if pressed.

That last one reminds me of the burs on Arctium sp. around here.

That seems to be on point.

This would be outside of cedrus's inhabited zones: hot Mediterranean mountains.
As for burdock, im leaning towards no, becuase the capsules (or whatever ) are kinda too long...

The last one is Cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium)

Yep. On point. Thanks.

Stephan, I'm pretty sure the conifer is Cedrus atlantica. It grows well around here so it should grow there as well.

And cacti grow well In arizona. Your point is?

Maybe the climate in CalPolygardener's area is similar to that in your area and Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica) would grow in both locations?

Perhaps if he\she lived somewhere in northern California on the mountains, but I doubt it...

I live in the warm, humid climate of Florida so I'm not at all familiar with Cedrus but from what I've read, C. atlantica is apparently common in cultivation as an ornamental tree in temperate climates and is listed for U.S. hardiness zones 6-9.

The cultivar Blue Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica 'Glauca') is a popular tree that is grown in California; the map on this page: https://selectree.calpoly.edu/... shows it presence in the state of California but perhaps the map is inaccurate? :

Trees grown zone 6 are a bit of a stretch. Especially slow growing evergreen ones . Stuff like loquats and palms get hit hard by frost(one particular instance a while back) so I doubt cedrus would come out unscathed(and this would be within these trees lifetime). Also, havent seen any trees with a grown up cedrus shape...
