The yellow one (5th pic) probably is a dwarf hibiscus/bonsai hibiscus/garden-variety hibiscus. The 'red' Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) is used for hair care purposes, while the 'white' hibiscus is considered to have medicinal properties in the Indian traditional system of medicine, 'Ayurveda'. The 7th pic is that of the 'almonda' flower - it is a climber. Thats what it is referred to out here in India... not sure of its botanical name, though. The 9th pic... is the 'Coleus' plant. I have them all in my terrace garden here in India :-) Unable to recollect the names of the flowers/plants... in the 2nd and 4th pics... even though I racked my brains real hard! :-( The 5th and 6th flowers… posted here… are two varieties of the hibiscus flower.

It can be found in Canada, I used to have one. Most people pinch the flowers off, as they stop the plant from growing further.
