Please help me ID these

[Zuly]

I have searched the web and have had no luck identifying these 2 plants.

This one looks like the flower is painted on the leaves

And this one I picked up on the side of the road in Empire, LA, growing wild

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Zuly

PS The upload link is awesome

Top one looks like Hellebore

Bottom one looks like wild tobacco

Thank you for the quick response. I googled your suggestion and they don't look the same

The top one: Is the red actually little leaves or red on a larger green leaf? If you break a leaf off, or just break a little edge of a leaf, does it have white milky juice?

I will check in a few minutes. I'm waiting for this hard rain to pass.

The top one almost looks like a poinsettia. At least it looks like the ones my mom managed to keep alive for a few years. Not sure though.

It does look a little bit like a poinsetta, maybe it's in the family.

Here it shows color on little seperate leaves and also color painted on green leaves, LOL.

and it did have a little sap when I took a leaf off

The older blooms are orange

Here is one more PIC

Mama Chicken, in this PIC I included the poinsettia I planted a couple of months ago.

Okay, yeah, when I see them together it's obvious that they're different. But maybe cousins of some sort...
