Calling all green thumbs!

In the spring I got some seed packets from church and when early summer rolled around I planted them...but I threw away the seed packets!

{or at least forgot where I stored them!}

Can anyone tell me the name of the following flower?

It took quite a while to produce a bloom...

for the longest time it looked like a big ugly weed...

but I think these flowers are gorgeous...

and

HUGE!!

I also planted these caladiums from seed.

Had I known they would be so big and beautiful I would have placed them on the south side of the house so I could see them every day. I have not watered or cared for either of these plants all summer {though we have had a wet summer}. The packets said "full sun" so I planted them on the west side of the house and they get plenty 'o sun every day.

If you're more of a black thumb gardener, these plants are for YOU! :)

And potato vine, of course, love that stuff!!

So, can anyone help a pregnant girl out?

I'd love to make sure I plant more of those flowers next summer.

Got a name for me?? :)

Mom?

Dad?

Anyone?
