The one that I'm pretty sure is wild is too?
The red flower is a Tithonia (mexican sunflower) or maybe Zinnia. The feathery herb looks very much like Dill, but that should be obvious if you rub and smell it. If it doesn’t smell like dill then I dunno.. maybe Cosmos?
Definitely not dill, my wife thought it smelled like a radish (which it's not) and I just thought it smelled strong but couldn't place the smell lol
That one looks like cosmos to me.
Agreed, it looks like cosmos based on leaf and stem.
In going to have to look that one up
Edit: looks very similar, we'll see if there's enough time for it to flower before a freeze this year
I can definitely see it being tithonia, looks like zinnia flowers have a very layered petal formation, but matches tithonia pretty closely
I can only see one pic, but it looks like it could be a zinnia! I'm new as well so it's basically the blind leading the blind.
I updated the link, it works when I click on it, but that might hour mean anything
