A few that I identified this afternoon with a new app that someone suggested to me:
California Vervain (violet flowers)
Largeleaf Lantana (yellow flowers)
Largeleaf Lantana (yellow and reddish orange flowers)
Climbing Euonymus
Japanese Spindle Tree
Let me assure you from recent, foolishly obtained experience, that while 4 O’Clocks are technically edible, this fact should not sway you to try so much as a tiny piece of a leaf unless you truly want to learn what the “marvel of Peru” entails.

1. A black bear
2. Elk, including a suckling baby Elk
