These are Japanese Radiata White Egrit Orchid. They really are stunning!
Also @BryWisteria the Dragon Skull Flowers are what happens when they die. When living they’re called Snapdragons and they’re really beautiful flowers that come in many different colors. I came across some on my outings and fell in love with them last summer. I also have a tendency to fall in love with all the types of wildflowers too!
These are the Snapdragons while alive
Also I don’t have a garden of my own at this time so these images were taken from google.

You got some bonus corn, @Susurrus! 
I’ve never seen that before either- it’s wild! I imagine it would make a good offering if you decided not to eat it. It could definitely be a sign of abundance, fertility, and/or prosperity!
Oh my goodness that orchid is so beautiful, @jessika! 
And I had no idea the dragon skulls came from snap dragons- it seems that one beautiful flower transforms into something else interesting. Thanks for sharing your floral wisdom!

@christina4 was my first impression when I saw it, a witch hat.

If anyone knows what these are I saw them in the Rocky Mountains outside of Denver a couple of years ago and have been unable to identify them.

YES- that’s amazing!!! It really does look a witch hat, I would be shocked if I ever came across that in the woods 
Nature really is creative!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like them, @SharonD 
Are those little white parts the seeds? Or are they about to bloom? Tough to tell but they are wild to see- thanks for sharing! 
You could always try to run them through a plant identifier app (Seek, iNaturalist, and Picture This are often recommended here in the forum)- maybe there’s something similar in the database that could give you an answer!

I didn’t know corpse flower was endangered! That’s great that they were able to care for one so well.

It certainly drew quite the crowd of flower enthusiasts to see it!
I think such situations are win-win: an endangered plant was rescued and lots of locals got to go see it (and smell it! lol) for themselves

Thank you @crystal24 and @Amethyst!
I have a lot of plans for the marigolds of course. Oil for one! I’ve grown a lot of things this season and the marigolds have done the best.
I wish my Echincea and Chamomile knew my thumbs were green! LOL They have not done as well
