    Not a cactus, grows in the pine needles and only grows in the higher elevations where there is snow.

    I'd guess Jimson Weed for the first (anybody remember giant moths at the top of Anaheim stadium?)

    Can it be a variety of penstemmon, or maybe a Desert Bell? I'm a dork, I forgot to look at the leaves.
