Pics 1,2.. I saw this flower downhill in an uncultivated "washout" area of my yard, below a swale. It looks to me like maybe one of my red nicotiana blooms have escaped and reseeded/reverted? Is that possible?

3 is a new "wild one" for me. Desert bird of paradise.

4, first bloom from my seed grown echinacea :)

5 is ironweed, my neighbors have been clearing brush and this is all that's left of a once huge stand of them. My seeds never germinated but I'd like to transplant a few to my property. Anyone have experience moving ironweed? Any tips?
