Yes it is a butter and eggs otherwise known as Linaria valguris and in the snapdragon family. They bloom from May to October and are found throughout the United States. The plant is not indigenous to this country. Here is a good site that lists some of its many names. http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=LIVU2

Black Mulberry (Morus nigra) is a species of mulberry. that is interior of reach to southwestern Asia, the place that is been cultivated for subsequently long that its precise organic variety is unknown. that is a small deciduous tree turning out to be to ten-13 m tall. The leaves are 10-20 cm long and 6-10 cm huge (as much as 23 cm long on lively shoots), downy on the backside, the better floor tough with very short, stiff hairs. The fit to be eaten fruit is darkish pink, virtually black, whilst ripe, 2-3 cm long, a compound cluster of countless small drupes; that is richly flavoured, comparable to the crimson Mulberry (Morus rubra) yet no longer in user-friendly terms like the extra insipid fruit of the White Mulberry (Morus alba). Black Mulberry has long been cultivated for its fit to be eaten fruit, and is planted and many times naturalised west for the time of a lot of Europe, such because of the fact the Ukraine, and east into China.

It looks sort of like a snapdragon, but I am sure it isn't.
