[pct-l] Flower Identification

[goforth at cnw.com (Joanne Lennox)]

all these identifications seem fairly close except for #2; Doesn't look
anything like a Salvia or sage to me.  Salvia is a mint family member and
has opposite leaves and square stems, and not a succulent.  Probably either
in the buckwheat family or stonecrop from the looks of the general
appearance.
