Been on my travels, managed to id a bunch of flowers through poor internet searches.... Can someone help me with these please?
5 appears to be an Amaryllis or relative thereof. 2 might be Virginia creeper. 3---agree with Marpole that this bud looks like Hibiscus.
Greetings - thank you for showing these plants - good pictures! Sorry as with the other posters I am not familiar with #1. I agree with all other suggests and can add a few details. Agree number 3 is likely Hibiscus - coccineus, moscheutos, rosa-sinensis, syriacus, trionum are in common cultivation in California. Armeria species sold in California are alliacea, alpina, maritima, pseudarmeria. Agree number 4 is likely Nerium oleander. #2 might be virginia creeper - as virginia creeper does have this asymmetrical leaf structure and has distinct pigmentation in the new growth - Parthenocissus quinquefolia. Agree #8 is Ipomea lobata.
Wow! Thank you so much for the quick responses. I am amazed at your brains, I've been trawling the forum a little, and have to say it's a very refreshing and lovely place. Did feel a bit cheeky as a n00b to ask for so much help, but I'm very glad I did. I love flowers and plants, I take loads of photos everywhere I go. If anyone is curious & if it helps with id: 1: Jordan 2: Czech Republic (South Bohem) 3: Czech Republic (North Bohem) 4: Jordan 5: Sri Lanka 6: Isle of Wight 7: Chamonix 8: Paris Thanks again
