What are these?

These mystery plants were allowed to grow in my garden.  I don't know what they are.  The Japanese beetles sure seem to like em tho.  They got these tiny orange flower on them and now its turning into a seed pod or fruit of some type?  Hmmmmmm. The last picture is a picture of a millet plant that grew itself in a pot of pansies I had.

the beetles are nuts here too.  It was said recently they like red, yellow, and orange.  Let us know when you find out what it is.

I don't know what they are, but can you tell me what the last one is, it looks like a corn stalk, I have a bird feeder hanging over my shrubs and the seed falls to the ground and up come these things, at first I thought it was corn but it's not, I feel sure it's from the bird seed. gg/Jackie

I have no idea. I've seen them before, but always wondered myself.

The pod looks like my Oriental Poppies and the leaves and stalk look like pumpkins or gourds - I don't know what it is but I have seen this before.  Let us know if you find out what they are.  They don't have white flowers that bloom only at night do they?
