These fantastic tropical plants are not orchids The plants like heat and humidity (like Vanda and Phalaenopsis) and stand approximately 28 inches high! The flowers are deepest purple and are almost black and 8 inches across with 10 inch whiskers dangling down super warm conservatory plants.

We saw these growing out of cracks in a parking lot this morning. They are really pretty. What are they?

Without going online to make absolutely sure, I'd say the flower is a Sweet Pea.
Anybody know what this flower is? It is growing on a large, thorny bush. I thought at first it might be a rose bush but the buds are tiny, tiny and very fragrant!
Wild Rose , I grew up in Mid TN and The Smell Wafts across areas the brambles resemble black berry but you will find tiny tatsefull vit c packed rosehips in early to mid winter that have a tart and peculiarly satisfying tatse. (as a child it was like winter candy that grew on bushes)
What is the name of the white flower in this photo? I purchased the plant at a home improvement store without a tag. It is growing in zone 8, west coast of central Florida, and survived last winter in the ground with minimum mulch. It roots very easily and quickly from cuttings using rooting hormone.

Thanks for your help! Because of the shape of the flower I believe it is "Cat's Whiskers". It roots so easy I started three more pots today!
Orthosiphon aristatus, medicinal herb
Wikipedia : "It has been used for many centuries as a treatment for ailments of the kidney, bladder stone, urinary tract infection, liver and bladder problems, diabetes, rheumatism and gout. It is also used to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure. It is believed to have antiallergic, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties, and is used as a remedy for arteriosclerosis (capillary and circulatory disorders).
It has a mild diuretic action, so it is very useful for flushing the kidneys and urinary tract. It also relieves spasms of the smooth muscle in the walls of the internal organs, making it valuable for gallbladder problems. Researchers have found it to be mildly antiseptic as well."
Can someone tell me the name of this perennial purple flower please?
What is this flower please?
Thanks.
Alpinia purpurata and Red ginger are the names of this flower, (very possibly).
Google that name, then look in (Images).
Your plant looks like a Red Ginger but you can tell for sure if you research and check the complete plant photos.
I would appreciate finding the names of these two flowers. Anyone out there that can tell me? Thanks for taking time to answer. GG Vi

The blue one is a peruvian lily. They're gorgeous, but smell like cat urine if any part of the plant is bruised.
What is this flower? It's very small, maybe an inch long at most.
Can anybody tell me the name of this flower? This is the first year it has come up.
By Jamie E
I think it is a hollyhock.
I call this an "orange morning glory" because it behaves and has similar characteristics to a morning glory. It has leaves, seed pods, and seeds like a morning glory, but the size and shape is different.
By nonniebeth from Rome, GA
I've never seen anything like it. If it were white with pink-blush centers, I would say the shape and the size of the flowers look like bindweed; but the color looks like trumpet vine. Need more info to make an identification with any degree of certainty.
Can you name this plant/flower? It was found in a garden in southern Ontario. TIA
Wow! These are cool! I have never seen one like this so I did a reverse image search and it looks to be a fritillaria imperialis tulip.
In reading about them, they are reverse tulips. They have their own wiki! en.wikipedia.org/
Post back if you think this matches. They are lovely!! I learned something new today!!
