Hello everyone,
I found some new and unknown to me plants yesterday and wondered if y'all could help me identify them.
These are wild growing plants near my home in the woods.
This little succulent is everywhere! It's thick like carpet is some places.

This is 3 plants. A cactus. Some greenery and a flower. The flower has grasslike leaves and is not part of the greenery in this picture.

These are big plants.

This plant has soft leaves that remind me of the squash family but have leftover empty seed pods still at the top of the plant from last season. They are all over the place.

And here is a heart shaped prickly pear pad. This is also everywhere but I haven't fed it to the Leo's yet because I'm intimidated by the spines. There is new growth everywhere though so I should try and despine some.

The first one looks like sedum morganianum and should be ok. The "soft leaf" one looks like nasturtium and is ok in moderation, although most of mine won't touch it

The succulent should be fine, it grows all over my yard and my little girl devours it. My male has no interest in it.


and the soft leaf plants do look like nasturtiums but are you sure the dried pod is part of that plant or something they grew around?
