weed/flower/plant ID

[Blondeangel]

So I went on a little walk around my house today and took photos of some plants/weeds I have growing around the house. I need a little help IDing them so any help would be fantastic.

This stuff is all around my patio...


I am pretty sure this is possibly dandelion? Not sure though..


This is taking over the side of my neighbors house..


These are two new flowers our gardeners planted a few weeks ago..


Lastly, the gardeners planted this and just basically said it was a soft tipped style cactus.

Don't know #1.
Need a pic of the plant for #2.
Don't know #3.
Don't know #4a, #4b looks like a type of ice plant, probably safe to eat.
I've seen #5, but don't know what its called.

Sorry I don't have more answers, but t least this will bump your question back up.

# 2 is not dandelion
4a is a begonia.

sorry this is the leaves of the yellow flowers, that I thought was the dandelions...

#1 is Chick Weed. Very common this time of year around our property.

I think #2 is this... http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/WEEDS/annual_sowthistle.html

chickweed - edible
sow thistle - edible
don't know
begonia (edible) - ice plant (edible)
agave - edible

I'm a little on the fence about the begonia. The flower says "begonia" but the leaves don't.

Yeah, what Kelly said.

Geez, I just had to google both of those and look at the images. I don't know that I could tell them apart if I had one of each next to each other. Very similar looking.

There are a few differences if you see them next to each other... the petal formation being ine...

I have a yard full of #2 i was wondering if it was edible. now i know i can feed it.. Thanks for the info. Now off to look up some of the other weeds in the yard.

#4 is Crown of Thorns not Begonia. Not safe but they tend to shy away from it...

#3 looks like a young Ruellia plant (mexican petunia) does it have purple blossoms?
