Thanks in advance

Flower names?
Gazania, hibiscus, vinca, mum, and chicory RScott
Reply:#1 is a gaillardia


#2 hibiscus


#3 vinca


#4 ice plant


#5 catanache ( cupid's dart)





But I am not sure of the exact names ( just the family they belong to)
Reply:Yep, #4 is Ice Plant, not Mum (look at the leaves). #5 could be either Chicory or Cupid's Dart, but I'm going with Cupid's Dart - the edges of the petals look a bit more like that.
Reply:flower 2 is a red hibiscus flower and flower 3 looks like a impatient.
Reply:#2 is a hibiscus


#3 is a vinca
Reply:im sorry but when i push the pictures it says thats the picture or link is not permitted





so you need to try a different picture :)





Good Luck
Reply:Actually, RScott got them all right but one.


Gazania, hibiscus, vinca, (ice plant) , and the last one is Chicory.


Here is an identical picture for comparison.

Reply:You've already gotten a lot of answers. I think RScott has the closest answers!





I agree:


#1: Gazania, #2 Hibiscus, #3 Vinca.


From there, I think that #4 is Ice Plant (Delosperma, maybe "John Proffitt"). I use the common name Cupid's Dart for plant #5 (Catananche).





I hope that this helps

I looked more carefully too, I think RScott is right about the Chicory. The stamens are different too!


What's up with all the thumbs down, except for RScott?
Reply:the 2nd one (red)is an amaryllis, sorry I've got a brain block at the moment but certain about the red one..
