    Thanks for numbering the photos.;)

    Click on these blue links that will take you to our GardenStew plant page for each of the plants that Chocolate identified.

    Crossandra infundibuliformis (Firecracker Plant, Firecracker Flower, Orange Crossandra)

    It looks like your is .....
    Gazania rigens 'Sunshine Mix' (Treasure Flower)
    or it may be another cultivar. But the growing information for this one will be the same as for the cultivar you have..

    Plumbago auriculata (Cape Leadwort)

    This one may not be the exact one you have, yours appears to be a new cultivar but the growing information for this one will be the same as for the one you have...
    Catharanthus roseus (Madagascar Periwinkle)

    Have you seen it bloom yet? A patch of it that size should look really pretty in full bloom.

    well, they haven't fully bloomed yet. Just a flower or two... they were stuggling a bit to survive in the last couple of months... I covered the soil with dried leaves and stuff and watered well, and now the plants are back in good condition.
    there are both white and yellow flowering plants in that patch. So I hope they will fully bloom soon. :)

    ..so, only plant number 2 to go..!
