Euphorbia sp., maybe E. heterophyllum but not sure.

Edit: Sorry, should be heterophylla.

Looking through the USDA Plants listing of Euphorbia in Florida, and looking more closely, I'd still guess Euphorbia heterophylla.
Is #5 a different plant than photos 1-4? Or a different part of the same plant?

Here's some info about Euphorbia cyathophora (which usually has some coloured or white leaves underneath the flowers) and also about Euphorbia heterophylla, incuding a photo comparing the two:

Anyway, regardless, Euphorbia heterophylla has variable leaf shape, and it would still be my guess even if these are 2 different plants... might be wrong, as I'm not familiar with these plants.

Both are found in Florida and although this site lists the genus as Poinsettia, it of course is Euphorbia:

This is it! I knew it wasn't the Wild Poinsettia as I've seen that all my life. The leaves reminded me of milkweed & the blooms reminded me of the Wild Poinsettia.

Thanks! I tip my hat to you.
