Gift for my mum

[Songla Elle]

helloo!
I need some help
I'm making a plants catalogue for my mum. She's got a gazillion plants at home but knows only a handful of their names. I'd be very grateful if anyone could help me identify some of these plants. Thank you!

No. 2 is very pretty. I would have suggested it to be dusty miller but I see I am wrong. Your mom is going to appreicate you taking the time to name all of her plants and put them in a catologe for her.

Thank you so much, silver surfer and pat

1. Please can you add extra pics to this thread ...to show a single flower.
It might help with an id.

I think what you are doing is a wonderful idea for your Mum.

Hi and welcome to the forum Songla Elle and in order to try and help out - here are my thoughts

1. I feel more than sure is Evolvulus Glomeratus - which unfortunately I don't know the common name of

http://convolvulaceae.myspecies.inf...convolvulaceae/evolvulus/evolvulus-glomeratus

2, Agree with Silver Surfer - Leucophyllum frutescens

3.4. and 5 - all are very definitely Portulaca and although its difficult to say exactly which particular variety they are individually - as all Portulaca - can depending upon which strain they are - have the exact same foliage as well as the same blooms as each other - but to narrow it down a bit - I don't think I would be too far wrong if I were to say that they belonged to the varieties known as - Portulaca Grandiflora - Portulaca Umbraticola and or Portulaca Oleracea

Thank you, gata montes!
Apparently evolvulus glomeratus are called blue haze and/or dwarf morning glory

Everyone here has been so helpful thank you so much.
I have a few non-flowering (most of them anyway. I think ) plants here that I can't identify. Anyone know these:

Those are really beautiful! I usually see the first one in landscapes of malls and other commercial establishments. Thank you for sharing these photos.
