The 1st one here
http://pics.davesgarden.com/pics/imzadi_1207688624_237.jpg
may be
Turbina oblongata
http://pics.davesgarden.com/pics/RON_CONVOLVULACEAE_1192261696_148.jpg

A closeup of the seeds would help...


The 2nd one here
http://pics.davesgarden.com/pics/imzadi_1207688667_920.jpg
looks to be a local variant of either
Ipomoea obscura(which can have a dark pigmentation at the bottom of the tube or have an all yellow tube)

I.obscura seedpod pedicel reflexing

or

Ipomoea ochracea
http://pics.davesgarden.com/pics/TexasPuddyPrint_1132707297_625.jpg
which has always had a dark colored bottom to the tube as far as I am aware
Ipomoea ochracea seedpod pedicels
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/121575/

The 2nd photo you posted might be something closely related to either of the 2 species that I have suggested as likely possibilities...

A closeup of the seedpods and the seeds would help to narrow the ID...

TTY,..

Ron
