I'll take a stab at this:
#2-dark green leafed one looks like Rubber Tree, the other one looks like Flamingo Lilly
#6-A type of Schifiler, don't know which one though.
The others I've see countless times but don't recall there names.

Great buys and lots too for so little money. Wonder where a 99cent store is around here.
The pink plant in the pink pot is called a Polka Dot Plant.
The last plant looks like a Shefflera aka Umbrella Plant. In south Florida they grow outside but further north it is a houseplant.
I have seen all the others before but can not come up with a name.

You made out like a bandit, didn't you? I'll bet you can't wait to get them into the ground. When will you be able to plant them, do you think?
You really will have top take fotos when they are blooming. Ok?

The second one down from the top looks very much like a lonicera that I have. The Lonicera periclymenum 'Harlequin". If it is, you have a supurb and unusual plant there. It's blooms have an excellent and somewhat unique fragrance for a lonicera.
I hope that it is. You would be the only other person that I know that has one.
Fingers crossed.

Yes the last plant is a schefflera. Umbrella Plant.IDed.
Lanicera periclymenum (Harlequin)I think .It really looks like it Sjored gave the name of it to me.
The Grape Ivy (Cissus rhombifolia)Is id'ed.
Polka Dot (Hypoestes phyllostachya) is ided.
I'm not sure about the others yet.

That isnt Hoya plant at all.. Ihave one and it is much thicker skinned.
I think the last one is the Umbrella plant .
The one above that is Grape Ivy.. It crawls.
I used to have the pink one, forgot the name.
And the yellow and green.....Name unknown.
Would the pink be POlka dot plant?
Guessing
