If they are weed they sure are pretty. Real tiny. The blue one looks a bit like lavender and the orange flower looks as if it belongs in the pea  family. I remember throwing seeds of lavender everywhere out front but the leaves on the blue one don't look like lavender leaves to me. Would appreciate the help.  PS. I didn't reduce the size of the images because the plants would be hard to ID. Took a while before I was able to take a couple decent pictures didn't want to ruin them.

I took a picture of the pod looks so much like it's in the fabaceae family! I wonder if there are weeds in this family? Attachments:  |

I think the blue one is a Lupinus sparsiflorus (Mohave Lupine, Coulter's Lupine)!  I'll know for sure once the flowers open. Okay, i think i found the secret to finding plants in the Fabaceae family! Type in your browser Fabaceae then the color of the flower! Hey it worked for me.

prowling? Look at the pods on the blue one! Love how the yellow and blue look together. The blue one is showing some white, i guess it will open up soon. I cleared all the ugly weed around these two except the one in the picture lol. I think i'll let these two grow even if they are weed. They are so pretty and don't need water. Beautiful ground cover.
