    Hi All!
    I got several plants from a nursery yesterday and the woman at nursery told me the names of those, but either that she was wrong about the name or it was a local name or I am spelling it wrong. I tried all spelling combinations but came upon with nothing online. Hope some you can identify them.

    She called this Erynthema (may be: erinthema, erenthyma???):

    She called this Rumiliya (rumelia, rumelya):

    She called this Iphorphea:

    The second one is most probably a Ruellia, have to think about the other two :).

    Good habit is to bring paper and pens with you in gardening expeditions, and ask people to write down names if you have doubt about the spelling. Be shameless, saves a lot of trouble later on
    ;)

    Not sure about the first one but I think the third one is Psuederanthemum Atropurpureum or a similar cultivar, there are many.:)
