Can someone ID these? They were one of many plants we took photos of during our trip to San Juan.

The middle one looks like an Aphelandra.

I recognize the second one but can't for the life of me remember the name; it's commonly seen in garden centers here at times. Photo # 3 is Copper Leaf (Acalypha wilkesiana) but I'm not sure which cultivar.

No Lin, it isn't that. I have seen this plant in south Fl. sooooo many times. My mind is drawing a blank on it though. It's making me crazy!!!
Betsy, it was a bush or shrub wasn't it? Maybe as tall as 5'?

I thought #2 looked like Zebra Plant (Aphelandra squarrosa) but not sure that looks right, the bloom stalk is not the same.

Nope, not Aphelandra. I know I've seen the plant for sale in our garden centers here at times. I keep thinking the name ends in "nthe" or something similar, but for the life of me I can't remember the common or botanical name and it's driving me crazy. Blinking Green Grin!

Tiffany: Sanchezia speciosa That's it!! Thumbs up

I kept thinking I saw that plant (or similar) when we were on vacation in San Diego in June. Sure enough, I took this photo of S. oblonga at Balboa Park:

Cool! "Striped shrub" helped me find it. And no, there really aren't any Aphelandras with flowers like that AND stripe leaves, but found some very similar flowers on plain leaved plants. Fun!

#1 is Scaevola taccada.

http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bi...

#2 looks like Sanchezia parvibracteata.

http://cookislands.bishopmuseu...

Sanchezia speciosa, has much larger flowering bracts. The plant is often sold as S. speciosa erroneously.

Happy New Year to you too Dave!

I visit the ID forum a lot and although I'm not so great at identifying plants most of the time ... I do like to try. Smiling
