    Hi, I am seeing a number of plants here where I live (Jamaica) which I want to ask you to identify for me. Thanks.

    - Photo 1 and 2 shows a tall bush, around 3 meters tall, with pink dotted blossoms reminding for lilies.
    - Photo 3 shows a bush of 1.50 m with small, long, thin red blossoms. The leaves are like green needles or mini branches.
    - Photo 4 shows a shrub-alike plant which features flat pink blossoms.

    Another important note: Seed Exchange

    Everyone who exchanged seeds with me and hasn't received the seeds I sent off, please inform me. I will send them again. Thanks.

    My thoughts are ...

    1) & 2) Perhaps a Gloriosa
    3) Flowers are reminiscent of a Cuphea ignea but the leaves are not correct
    4) Vinca

    Marley is the best to advise you, especially as she has just returned from Jamaica. :)

    I'd say the first looks like some kind of Bauhinia, second maybe Russelia and I also think the last is Vinca (Catharanthus)
