Lots of Flowers for my Yard part IV

We will start with an unknown wild 1/4"or smaller low growing yellow flower.
Then a Wood Sorrel I brought in a pot from my last house where they grew around the yard. A pleasing Violet/Purple/Lavender.
A variety of what we call Ice Plant, they grow all over, Cal Trans puts lots of them of various varieties along the roads and dividers.
Cape Honey Suckle - I have two in large terra cotta pots so I can move them around - the Humming Birds like them.
I have some of the "Tropical Milkweed" growing around the yard and in pots. My largest, which grew all on its own is the only one with all yellow blooms.
This is what the normal blooms look like a mix of yellow and orange or red.
I have one large Citronella plant in a large terra cotta pot. hummers and butterflies like it
Ah! The flower everyone loves to hate. But can be made into wine and used in salads. Dandelion
This one isn't really mine, a large bush or small tree next door but it sends runners over or through the fence. Purple flowers and when I found pictures on line they were labeled "Wild Potato Bush". What the ??????
A ragged Clematis, I hope to get a better shot when some new blooms appear.
I have others that currently have no blooms: two butterfly bushes (some blooms are starting), two kinds of mums and White Jasmine and a small tree with really big thorns growing next to the power pole in the corner of the yard. Then in the front yard I get wild Yellow Sorrel sometimes, blooms on a couple of succulents every so often (none now) and a Jicaranda Tree with no blooms now, CA cities plant these along streets a lot.
Again these are with the 5DIV and 100 macro except the Clematis which was my Tamron 180 macro.

Nicely done! Great garden!
Thank you a lot. Most are in terra cotta pots so I can rearrange them so my pictures don't look the same all the time. Well the roses are not in pots.
I plan to redo the flowerbed and put some of the potted plants out in the flowerbed.
