    Notice lively Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) on it. They are especially fond of the milkweeds.

    Thanks everyone for the help.
    I'm wondering is R. Tamarix aphylla?
    As for theother two below, I know a few people chimed in, but can anyone confirm these are the right plants?
    L. sumpweed, Iva sp.
    Q. Vaccinium

    Thanks.

    I think you are right. Do you think it could be: Populus fremontii ssp. fremontii ?

    Hey everyone. About to wrap things up with Identifications. I was wondering if anyone can help me out, and confirm these plant the others listed above:

    P. Populus fremontii ssp. fremontii ?
    R. Tamarix aphylla?
    L. sumpweed, Iva sp.
    Q. Vaccinium

    Thanks in advance.

    P-plant does not look like Populus fremontii. The latter should have flat leaf blade with attenuated tip. The P-plant has leaves with rounded tips and curved surface. Unless this is a very sick plant, it is not P.f.

    Ahh, so it is a cottonwood, Populus? How about the others above? Are those correct, or a little off?

    Wouldn't say for sure, only as one of many possibilities.

    Could be correct. The resolution and amount of details is insufficient to tell more that this.
