    The blue flowers in the first picture are Cape plumbago, Plumbago auriculata. The 4th picture looks like cypress vine, Ipomoea quamoclit.

    Three is something in the Malvaceae.

    I'd suggest 5 is something in the Capparaceae, but I could be wrong.

    Ah, that's looking like it (and see, I was wrong - Orthosiphon is in the Lamiaceae)

    Thanks so much guys! I really appreciate your help. Is there another name for #5 beyond the official name of Orthosiphon aristatus? And would you know the name of the vining plant with the long bean pods hanging down in #1?

    Can't make out the leaflet count but if 3 leaves, then as a guess Chinese long bean or Vigna unguiculata ssp. sesquipedalis or maybe something related? For the bean fruited plant in #1. Beans grow to 18".

    This page has a list of common names for Orthosiphon aristatus. Harry
