Although names don't really tell you anything *about* things (been reading Richard Feynman lately), they are handy as a starting point nonetheless and I'd like some help with some basics for starters with plants I have been looking at for almost 20 years but don't know the names of or anything about them (besides the Creosote bush which I love).
I took some wide/close shots recently while camping in Rockhouse Canyon in AB thios past weekend. I have numbered the plants in the linked image- if you could reply and reference the numbers I would greatly appreciate it!
Oh, number 11 is a mushroom heh, and number 13 is of some matetes and pottery shards- what would have been stored in the pots and what plants/seeds were likely ground in the matetes?
I think the photo is a high enough res if you zoom in.

Pix are a little small, Cliff. Number 6 is a Juniper of some kind. 12, I think is Mormon Tea, Ephedra. 10 could be a Smoke Tree, but then I think 8 is Smoke Tree. 5 looks like Creosote to me. 1 and 18 look like the same set of pix. It's an easy one, and the name is on the tip of my fingers, but I just can't pull it off. Its in the Chaparral Biome as well.

15 looks like desert broom, but the pics are just too small.

#14 is Datura, a lot of the others look like various species of Scrub Oak.

Thanks for the help guys!
I uploaded an even bigger ver just for the heck of it-

Below it are some rough animated gif files I made with a really handy program called "Photoscape", makes it really easy if you like that sort of thing.
