please !! help with botanical names!!
First one, "red flowers", try _Ixora_ [Rubiaceae].

Second flower photo, "red orchids", isn't an orchid at all but is a
Columnea species [Gesneriaceae]
http://images.google.com/images?q=columnea
The third one "red fruiting flowers" is of a bromeliad, probably
an _Aechmea_ species.

The fourth, "green and red" is likely _Acalypha hispida_
[Euphorbiaceae]
http://images.google.com/images?q=acalypha
The fifth, "orchids" isn't an orchid, but an amaryllis _Hippeastrum_
http://images.google.com/images?q=hippeastrum
The next two "orchid colours" and "orchid flower pink white" are
indeed orchids, and look to be different _Phalaenopsis_ varieties

The next five are poppies of some different cultivars.

The "wild rose" is likely a rose [_Rosa_], but clearly isn't a wild
form. Wild roses aren't double flowered. That is, it would have only
five petals and lots of stamens instead of being a cabbage-like
structure of many extra petals.

I'm not sure what the pink-flowering tree in the next one is.
Nice pic of the Kauri, a minor quibble is that it should be
"_Agathis robusta_"; the genus is capitalized, the species isn't.
Hope this helps. Thanks for posting the link to your
nice photos.
cheers
