Please help me identify these plants! I live in the Philippines (Southeast Asia) and found this still unidentified plants in our garden.
Maybe you could help me identify some of them. Leave a comment, get the plant# you want to identify and tell me the name/scientific name. That's just it. i'd be the one to google it up to verify the answer. What's in it for you?
#1 I would be giving out 100 EC's for each plant identified (for those who want it) for entrecard users.Identifying the plant means that I could wikipedia the scientific name of the plant (if you could be specific with the cultivar, the better!) and do some more research about it.
#2 You would be helping this newbie gardener. I'd be forever grateful.
#3 I would visit your blog (and comment) as OFTEN as I can.
I just need your help! Thanks.
Plant # 1:
Description : My mom called this flower "morning glory" but in the internet, it's a name for over 1000 species of plants! I think I have two cultivars as shown. It closes up at around 10:00-11:00 AM as shown in the left most picture. I'm looking for the scientific name of this plant.
Plant # 2:
Description: A very nice plant, with bright lavender to violet tube-like flowers. I don't even know if this is a weed or not, but it's not invasive (or so i think it is).
Plant #3 :
Description : A small plant with a small flower. The flower has two petals, one of which has a white center. It is smaller than the Clitoria and is not a vine.
Plant # 4:
Description : A very beautiful plant with large, velvety leaves. The flower sprouts from a knob-like shaped bud.
Plant # 5:
Description : Again, two cultivars of the same flower, which to me appears to be chrysanthemum-like. The leaves are rich green, with grassy texture, which gives me an idea that this might also be a weed.
Plant # 6:
This is called Vietnam Rose in our country. The flower is indeed rose-like, but it's thornless, and the foliage is slightly different. Looking for : Scientific name.Plant # 7:
Description : A soft, feathery bushlike plant that has a vivid green color. I just love to touch this plant!There you have it! I hope you could help me.
