This grows all over my house but I have no idea what it is and if it's edible for my two loves Jones and Hudson. I'm in southern Arizona.

You must have a very strange-looking house with that stuff growing all over it. :p

Sorry - I've never seen that one before...but it doesn't look like it would be tasty to browsers.

Haha as strange as that would be I think it would be cool if it grew on my house! :p I'm about to post some more pics of different plants I found outside my house.

Thanks everyone :D I guess the only thing I'll be feeding that grows wild around me will be prickly pear cactus pads and fruits. Which I have in an overwhelming abundance lol.

Yvonne is totally correct! That is ragweed (the first stuff) it grows EVERYWHERE and makes me sneeze like crazy in the spring and fall during allergies :mad: The plant itself is okayish, but I uproot it because the pollen is actually toxic if ingested.

AHH okay cool :) I won't feed it to them just to be safe. And that may explain why I've been sneezing like crazy ever since I moved into this new house!

I agree with Yvonne - ragweed! Terminate with prejudice!
In the second set, the first one is more likely to be Caesalpinia pulcherrima - "Pride of Barbados" than a "mimosa" in your locale.
Agree with Bouganvillea.
Sorry, I have no clue on the last two.
