This forum is the ONLY place that could identify my last photo, so I need your help again.
Does anybody have an idea as to what these are called? The purple tree flowers are in Emancipation Garden. The coral-colored one was taken at St Peter's Greathouse (I think). Even they couldn't give me a name!
Hope this is the right link for the photos (how do I get them in the message like "ccd" did???)
Thanks!

The kodak gallery wants me to sign in...
I think you need to make the photos public so that there is no sign-in request ?
Thanks, Suzette. I couldn't remember what I did the last time I posted pix! Hope this works now.

I'm bumping this up, because I still can't find these flowers. Would appreciate any recommendations for finding names. Thanks.
ms411,
I too, just tried to see the photos, but it still wants you to iether sign in as a member OR to become a member! Please try again! I am curious to see them! Maybe you could upload them on the forum thread?
Sorry. I know I made this public, but let me see what else I can do later this evening. Thanks for checking. I'm going to try to call Historic Preservation today for the tree in Emancipation Garden. They should know if nobody else does!
without seeing what she's talking about, it's hard to chime in!
Thanks, all. St George Botanical Garden horticulturalist knew the flowers, and they are:
Limber Caper (which I thought was a rose apple)
Queen Crape Myrtle (this is one of the trees in Emancipation Garden)
Crossandra (Firecracker)
So many flowers - so many names!
glad to hear you found out !
Now make sure to study hard and memorize them all.
THEN, please come to my house and tell me what I have here 🙂
Still wish I could see the pictures!
I'm tring this again:

Well, it's working for me, but this time, I've got one of the flowers wrong (will I ever get this right????)
The first one is the Queen Crape (Crepe?) Myrtle found in Emancipation Garden.
The second is a Crossandra (aka Firecracker, though the Firecracker in my book looks completely different, but it's not a Crossandra). I think I took that picture at St Peter's Greathouse.
The third is one I forgot to send to St George's Botanical Garden for ID, so I don't know what it is (it's the one that's hanging upside down). This grows on the street connecting the street behind the Waterfront and the street after that (Education Street? Near The White House) behind the courthouse. I've seen it in a few other gardens, and thought it was a Bleeding Heart, but not sure. Anybody else know?????
