Thank you for your help.I appreciate it.I thought it was a horsetail, I'm
not sure why, but I'll try looking up Scirpus.
Thanks again,

They grow in the Los Angeles area.

I'm not so sure the first one is a horsetail. It looks more like a rush.
Look
up the genus Scirpus.

The second one is easy. It is Meyer's asparagus fern, a form of Asparagus
densiflorus. It is a relative of the edible asparagus and the florist's
asparagus fern, not a fern at all.
Have fun.
