    I have some more flowers which I would appreciate some help identifying. They were found in the same garden gone wild in Northern California as my last thread. I'm suspecting that the first two are just color variations of Raphanus sativus, but the rest are new to me.

    Agree re: likelihood of Raphanus. See this Botany Photo of the Day entry on Raphanus hybrids

    Thanks for the help, all of you! I appreciate that link, Daniel. It'll cut down on the times you have to confirm Raphanus specimens now that I know they can appear in so many colors.

    I hope no one will object if I take #6 as Amsinckia menziesii var. intermedia.

    Phew, a lot of the vocab in that link is beyond my knowledge. But, I appreciate the suggestion, and I will take your word for it.
