Sorry, I don’t know the names of all the flowers.

The top one looks like rain tree flower.

Fourth one is a lotus bud.

7th is gloriosa superba lily

8th is water lily.

May be some of you can help with the others. Thank you.

The photos by Kepler are actually from the Polynesian Islands. But
they grow in Kerala as well.
There are several other types of lily also in Kerala. Unfortunately

I do not have pictures of them.
