Plant identification

sphinx_face

I have several plants I need to identify because a bunch of things started growing in a patch of dirt we aquired to fill a depression in our yard. I am curious to find out what they are to help determine if they are worth saving and just cause I'm curious. :) I guess I need to start with one at a time?

This one is about 6" tall, the leaves about 3" long and alternating in a spiral formation. I think the leaves are an ovoid shape, the base is oblique and attenuate. Some hairs grow on the leaf undersides, leaf stems and sepals.

The flowers are a white/creamy yellow color, when flattened are a little over an inch wide and are growing at the leaf base. It's like one large star shaped petal (bell?) with 5 points and the anthers are rather large.

It has some off shoot branches at the base but mainly one tall stem that is also a little purple tinted closer to the base of the plant.

I'm not sure if this whole explanation was necessary, or if the picture was enough... Thanks! ;)
