Hi and welcome, rutlandite2007. Unfortunately, although the pictures are lovely, artistic photos are not very helpful for id purposes. We need to see leaves, buds stems etc. The first one could be a Hollyhock, or it could be another member of the Malvaceae. If it is a Hollyhock they are well nigh impossible to give cultivar names to if grown from seed. They interbreed like mad and may not even have a cultivar name. The same applies to many seed grown plants, your Zinnia and Marigold, for example. Regarding the Mallow, yes, it is a Mallow but without seeing the leaves it's not possible to say which one.

The first one is a salsify I think. I had a yellow version I received when I requested goatsbeard seed :) The problem with common names since I was looking for aruncus. This one is prettier. Do a search for pink or purple salsify & I believe you will find this is it.

1. What's growing nearby ; ) 2. Thunbergia Erecta 3. Thought it might be COG myself but the throat markings are wrong, i think. I'll say Allamanda Cathartica, probably 'Henderson'. Really more a vine than a shrub but can be pruned into a shrubby mound. 4. Allamanda Shotti-Smaller flowers, shrubbier habit. 5. Agree with John 6. Jatropha i think, euphorbiaceae family 7. Has this flowered? Do you have a picture? 8. Is it fragrant? Looks a little little like H. Arnottianus but the colors seem too vibrant and the leaves don't look right. Where'd you get it? If it came from a big box store in a 6" pot you might want to search the Monrovia or Proven Winners website for an id. 9. & 10. i don't know ixora myself but i'd be suprised if they can be idenified by flower color alone. Maybe someone else can help you out if you know what size the bushes grow to? 11.& 12. Psittacorum Heliconias-sometimes called Parrot Heliconia. The orange one is the common one. Lots of selected color forms, the yellow one could be 'Sassy' or 'Princess Di'. Horribly invasive. 13. Looks like a Stricta, maybe Dwarf Jamaican? Should have a dark red midrib if so. Not too aggressive, at least not in my garden where it gets to less than 2 feet tall and blooms pretty much year round. i've seen it get to 4' tall in some other locations.

Correct on both ID's & yes, many birds' bills change color as they mature. Also some bills are different color in breeding season vs. non-breeding season & there are some male vs. female bill differences also.
