Will you help me identify these flowers?

Not to get off topic snd I could post this on the gardening thread but I did download the Seek app- free! It’s pouring rain here so couldn’t take it outside now to try but it identifies plants, insects and animals so tried a couple things around the house! See pics below


I’ll post a couple pics so you can see some of the ways it gives info

The New Guinea impatiens (while they don’t like baking in full sun all day, especially when dried out) are more sun-tolerant than the smaller-leaved regular impatiens. So some direct light is Ok, or a lot of bright filtered light is also OK if you keep them watered!

The small, red petunia-like flowers in the middle/upper photo are probably calibrachoa. They like part sun, part shade and probably would do well in your spot if kept damp in the afternoon. They are pretty, spilling over the edges. They come in lots of colors.

That looks more like a schefflera plant?

That is the scientific name - and was listed when you click and get more details on the pic - umbrella tree is the common name

Have to say that your resighted species has a cute snout! :slight_smile:

Regarding plant identification apps, I use one called PlantSnap that seems to work pretty well. I tested it on the picture of the Potato Vine and it correctly identified it.
