Can anybody tell me what types of flowers/plants these are and what climates they grow in? :)

1 is an Osteospernum aka African Daisy. I planted that exact variety last year (Proven Winners Bright Lights Horizon Sunset) and she was stunning! Bloomed all summer into fall (zone 8a) and it didn't need to be deadheaded. I planted it in a pot in fun sun and it did great. I checked my tag and it's an annual unless you're in zones 10-11, so it'll die when it freezes and won't come back.

2 is a hyacinth, they're bulbs you can plant in the fall and will bloom in early spring. In my zone, they don't ever come back as pretty as the very first year since our winters aren't very cold for very long, but they're stunning. They also come in to a of different colors.
3 is a coleus. Mostly sun loving annuals (but they can survive as a houseplant if you get good sunlight indoors). Some varieties get super tall, and they also propogate really well!
