Salam everyone, here are four plants that i have, i have tried in vain to find their names, I guess one is a form of jungle cactus and one maybe a for of gladiolus or Iris, one may be jungle lily and I have no idea what the fourth one is, so please help

here is one more bush, i took cuttings from Bagh e Jinnah and plants has grown to the height of 6 feet in 14" pot in one year, the plant produce little bluish purple flowers and has very light fragrance too, the flowers produce black pods just like black pepper.

and finally here is plant i bought from Sagian, it has not bloom once but has produced many plants. I have not found a bulb underneath but a rhizome.

No 4. Smaller one maybe some Iris and bigger one maybe heliconia

We have entries for two of your plants
The last fan like plant: It is Iris domestica/ Belamcanda chinensis

And what you call as a forest lily looks more like Draceana fragrans

You seem to like blue flowers that too rare ones. Kindly post close ups of blue flowers, because it helps to guess the plant family. Are the leaves aromatic if you crush them? Labiates have such lip like flowers but image is not clear.

Dear Mr. Farhan both of them are same plants as the smaller ones have been produced by the larger one

Thanks Farooq Sb. for the quick response, well the first one do look like Iris Domestica, it has not flowered in the last one year that i have had it, ill wait a bit longer to confirm.

The second one is definitely not Draceana as the plant i have is a bulbous plant so most probably a form of lily, it is also producing several bulbs at the base.

I will chesk the blue flowering bush and update.

i guess blue flowering bush is common lilac, Syringa vulgaris. although image is not clear.

1) looks like Euphorbia resinifera
2 & 3) Crinum zeylanicum
7) & 8) is not iris but i am unable to recall the name right now

The first pic is a succulent 'stapelia'...either is stapeila confusa or stapelia schneideriana...A pic of a flower will help for exact identification
