Spiderwort. The green/white variety usually has white blooms, but I have seen one with blue blooms.

Definitely turk's cap.You're safe putting in the ground. I'm in North Central Texas(Fort Worth area)myself, zone 7a and it comes back fine every year. We treat it just like the lantana. Once it dies back, cut it to the ground and mulch. Ours only gets about 4' high here. Here they do best in partial shade all day or the east side(morning sun,afternoon indirect light.

1st picture-lavender/violet blooms is torenia fournieri aka wishbone flower
2nd -orange/white blooms is impatiens walleriana
3rd+4th- OK, this one has me stumped for the moment
5th- Definitely a lantana. Probably lantana camara but if it has spines, then lantana achyranthifolia.

Looks to me like american elm.

Some shrimp plants need very warm temps(over 90 degrees) to bloom. If you have it indoors this may be the problem.

Definitely weigela.Expect it to draw hummingbirds and butterflies. They love mine.

I was showing my hubby the close-up photos and he commented on the resemblence to henbit. I don't know henbit's scientific name, but now I'm wondering if it's related to your plant. Henbit is a winter plant here(N Central Texas zone 7). It starts appearing just before Thanksgiving and is gone by March. It has the same square stem and the flowers are identical. The only difference I can see is the shape of the leaves. Henbit has hairy round leaves with the same serrations as your's. I'll be checking into this.

I don't have any idea as to the plant ID, but I just had to comment on the photos. If everyone was able to take this quality of close-ups it would be so much easier to ID their plants. I envy your skill with a camera.

OK, just went out and pinched a stem of my aquatic mint to compare to the picture. I'm 95% sure you've got mint. To be sure just pinch a leaf and roll it between your fingers and you'll know if it's mint.

OK, There are definitely dwarf cattails, possibly lobelia(either cardinalis or syphilitica)and some rushes in #1. The 2nd picture is hard to tell. I'd say either aquatic creeping jenny or water clover, but I could be wrong on this one.Picture #3-that's a pickeral rush into center. #4 is a dwarf umbrella plant(one of my faves).Picture #5 is hard. I think your holding the tip of one of the rushes, but it's hard to tell. You may also have some reeds in the pond but it's hard for me to tell a reed from a rush in a picture.

My mind is going blank on the scientific name but the common name for the feathery one is parrot feather. Not sure about the taller one, it looks a bit like a mint. While there is a mint sold for ponds called aquatic mint, any mint does well in a pond. Aquatic mint HAS to be in a pond.

This exactly what some of my variegated hostas look like when they come out in the spring

Definitely tranescantia. If you're wanting to plant more, several sites have plants. Your's is the first I've seen with white flowers. Down here they're usually in shades of violet with foliage that's a bit more silvery.

There are a few astilbes that can get pretty tall. My grandmother had some that were 4' tall. About the only thing I remember about them(other than their height) is that they started blooming almost a month after the shorter varieties and the foliage was not as lacy as some of the shorter ones.

While the flower does indeed look like an evening primrose, the rest of the plant does not. While the northern varieties do get taller than down here in Texas(about10-14 inches here) the tallest I've see was in northern Idaho and was only 2 1/2 feet tall. Also all oenothera I've ever seen have been multi-stemmed sprawling plants not a tall spike like this.

Pam908 is right. These are indeed Cleome. I'm in north central Texas and am trying to get these established.

Definitely NOT poison oak which is actually a vine but the leaves are shaped like white oak leaves.

Usually, if these get more sun they turn more purple. My grandma called it Moses-In-A-Cradle, but the latin is either Callisia spp or Tradescantia spp.

Definitely a fruit-bearing mulberry. A word of warning, you don't want this within 20 feet of a foundation, driveway, sidewalk, or concrete patio. It has VERY strong lateral roots that are very effective in breaking through concrete. It is also very bad about getting into sewer and water lines.

Definitely one of the pigweeds(Amaranthus spp.). We get a variety here called bloodleaf pigweed which can get to 7 feet tall.

I think it might be a catclaw vine. I've never seen it with flowers that small, but there's a first time for everything. The "fruit" however, looks just as I remember it.

Depending on your zone, it may or may not spread. I'm in zone 7 in north central Texas, and I can' get the dwarf ruellias to spread. The tall ones are another story. Every spring I move young ones around to fill in any bare areas. We call them Mexican Petunias here.

It looks like a quince. Not a good fruit for eating raw, it is excellent for cooking. It makes a beautiful jelly and great preserves. It is also good cooked with apples or pears. It turns a lovely pink when cooked. I wish I had one.

It's hard to tell from the photo, but it appears to stuck into a bud vase. This would make it much larger than a nutsedge. I believe it is probably an umbrella plant or papyrus plant. Sorry, the latin name escapes me at the moment. It could also be a dwarf papyrus which more closely resembles the nutsedge to which they are related. I have clumps of each on opposite sides of my koi pond. The umbrella plant has stems 3-5 feet tall, while the dwarf averages 18 inches to 2 feet. It just came back to me; the umbrella plant is cyperus alternifolius, the dwarf papyrus is cyperus isocladus(I think). The dwarf forms whorls of leaves up to a foot across, while the umbrella plant forms whorls up to 2 feet across and is viviparous. Neither of these are native, but can naturalize under the right conditions. Also, most references state the umbrella plant is only cold hardy to zone 7, but a friend of mine's grandmother has been growing them for over 40 years on the borderline between zones 5 and 6. The dwarf is listed as being hardy for zones 9-11, I'm in zone 7 and have had no problems in the 3 years I've had them.
