All these plants were growing at the Butterfly House in the Aquarium in Coastal NC...some just outside catering to local butterflies while others were inside the highly humid house itself. There were many varieties that were familiar to me but many others (including these) that I have not been able to identify.

DOOK has a post that indicates a similar plant is the Red Bottle Bush. ALL the blooms on this bush are perfectly round, not cylindrical. Mimosa family, perhaps.

Vinca-like shape and size-all blooms are white with the large eyes that resemble a Panda's eyes

About 5"-6" across...all blooms were in this initial sagging stage as if they closed daily.

Several plants inside...some were this pale lavender and some were white

I believe that this is a plant I have known as the TEASEL that has prickly seed pods. Need confirmation on this one

Your third image, all of which you should have numbered, appears to be a Brazilian Dutchman's Pipevine flower (Aristolochia gigantea).

Bob, first of all, they're all stunning shots with beautiful light..like all of yours always are. I'm not looking at anything, so these are all guesses. First one looks like a Mimosa bloom, second Black-eyed Susan vine, third Dutchman's Pipe, fourth Mona Lavender Plectranthus (sp?), fifth I know but can't think of the name. I'll look it up. Also not sure about the Dutchman's Pipe. Will have to look it up as well.

The last one looks like Common Cocklebur.

I can only help with the first one, Bob. It is one of the many Mimosa species. Mimosas can be round or cylindrical, red or lavender, depending on the species.

I can't help you out, but I certainly enjoyed every one of them... especially #3!!!
Beautiful flowers, colors and capures, Bob!!

Excellent downloads Bob of some lovely flowers, beautiful colours and light. #3 is very unusual!

Great shots whatever they are Bob...

#3 looks like a Dutchman's Pipe - food source for the pipevine swallowtail caterpillars. Some of the species attract flies for pollination by smelling like rotten meat!

I don't know what they are, but they are beautiful shots, Bob. Awesome detail in the downloads.
