please !! help with botanical names!!

I like Mel Turner's use of Google Image links to assist with the
identification (even if I disagree with some of his ID's), so I'll
borrow it.


*** "Closeup red fruiting flowers" (n20060927_183201):

I'm starting with my weakest ID, but trust me, I'll get better. This
doesn't look like a bromeliad to me, but rather something in the heath
family (Ericaceae). It's hard to tell, though -- are there Ericaceous
flowers with no sepals? Try these images for comparison:

*** "orchid flower pink white" (n20060927_183318):

Yes, an orchid. Genus: Phalaenopsis.

*** "Orchids" (n20060927_183256)

All of my Hippeastrums have red flowers, but I think that Mel got this
one right. Orchids don't have stamens like that. Hippeastrum is in
the lily family (Liliaceae).



*** "Flower Orange water droplets" (n20060927_183420, and the four
photos that follow):

I am certain that this is not the genus Eschscholzia (California
poppies), as suggested by La Puce. But, these are definitely in the
family Papaveraceae. Iceland poppies (Papaver nudicaule) are very
popular garden plants.

*** "Wild Rose pink" (n20060927_183806):

More likely a Ranunculus than a rose.
