Hi! New here, been following the site for some time, and think it's my new favorite place! Just getting starting in houseplants. I have had about 19 plants for at a year, many for 3 years, hardly any deaths! (I just don't know what they all are!). I have google-image searched for most of them, but these I just don't know! Thanks in advance, Sam 1. ???? Got from a friend in AK. Blooms all the time! Leaves close at night, open during the day.  2. ??? Recently purchased succulent  3. ??? Had for many years  4. ??? Mom gave me this from a cutting/propagation. Hasn't done much as far as growth. I have a in sunny south window. Maybe a Rex Begonias? If so, I think it needs less sun...  Link to Album

The second one looks like an umbrella plant/tree, Schefflera. You will get more info on it at: http://www.plant-care.com/schefflera-arboricola.html

#4 looks to be in the Begonia family, but will have to look around more to figure out what type.

If that is the case, then it is most likely a succlent called dyckia picante, which is in the Bromeliad family. For a picture of it go to http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2877600290051355292eQRiBVThey tend to have very this leaves but are very similar in shape to a aloe vera
