Hhhhhmmmm. That will be interesting to know. Looks vaguely like an Apocynaceae crossed with a Malvaceae! Probably neither!

I truly don't know this one. What family should it be in?

smivies, I think this is a sub-tropical shrub to tree.

Blurry, but looks like Jatropha integerrima to me.

Jatropha integerrima is a lovely plant. I hope it is. Thank you so much.

Darn. I can't believe I didn't recognize it. I blame it on the poor focus! (kidding)

Thank you. I think your expertise is widely respected anyways.
