I like taking pics of random flowers that are pretty and uploadingt hem to my myxer for other people to look at BUT it is such a pain trying to identify them!!!! crying

Anyone know that these are? (sorry about the black and white. the sun was being evil and that was the only way i was able to cut down glare.)

Hmm. I am not positive. The black and white does make it bit difficult, an I am not an expert to begin with. xp But I would guess amaryllis for the first two and periwinkle for the second two.

I googled pics of periwinkles and it matches the ones I took shots of! =3

But I couldn't find an amaryllis that looked just like those.
If it helps, the petals are all white and the blackish looking thing on the inside is a deep purple.

I agree about the periwinkle (vinca)

The second one is so familiar, I've seen it in catalogs for years but have never grown it myself. It's a bulb I think. Possibly a tulip, but I don't think so. Could be a lily, though most of those have 6 petals and it looks like your flower only has 5 petals. I'll let you know if I remember or come across it.

It doesn't look like any amaryllis I'm familiar with (sorry)
