this one is native to mexico and it is called elegans .... when I bought it, it had flowers but this is the first time it flowered here in Baja
I am not sure what the name of this one is, but this is the first time it has flowered too. they were prettier but I did not get a chance to
photograph them then

This wasn't the first flower for our cactus, but it was the first flower that we ever saw on our cactus. It was a proud cactus parent moment. Our
cactus is growing up.

Pretty cactus flower there! Your unknown plant is one of the Kalanchoe tribe, but not sure which one (there are a lot!). Possibly K. daigremontiana
but that's a longshot.

wow, that purple one is so cool! Here are some from my little garden this morning...Blanca...the plant that is all pretty in pink is called
Celebration and it sure looks like one eh!
and for the token grandchild shot.....

Wow Shari, never knew a Castor Bean was so pretty up close...nice. Blanca---that blue flower you have is a Mexican Petunia (Ruellia brittoniana) if
you didn't know already---I know that one by virtue of my former life in TX where it is quite widely used (I'm back in CA now--yay!).

Castor bean??? is that that red one next to last? I thought that purple flower looked like a petunia but it only bloomed for a day? bummer
