I have been a fan of multi colored coleus leaves since the first time I saw one. We have a large plant in the garden. And your begonias look great.

I keep forgetting what this one is but it's the most resilient houseplant I've ever owned

Yup, dracaena marginata. One of the all but indestructible houseplants. They’re great.

The cathedral bells is a Kalanchoe. Is it the kind that forms zillions of little plantlets at the leaf notches? I can send you other kinds if you like. The plantlets fit into an envelope and live even if somewhat squashed.
You may know this - you can eat luffas just like summer squash when they are small. When they get too big they're stringy.
Not clear on whether you're asking for names. The last tree is a loquat, Eriobotrya japonica ("Wooly grape from Japan".) In Spanish it's níspero.

the last one with my hand in the pic is a begonia 'black raspberry' or so i was told by the person who gave me the cutting.
it is not black and the notes on the black raspberry say 3-5 inch leaves and these are pushing 10" across....i think it is a NoID lol

The huge yellow cucurbit (squash family) vine flower looks like a luffa. The fruits dry on the vine, you peel off the dead skin, cut one end, shake out the seeds, and you have a vegetable sponge.
It might be a different species but it's some kind of squash.
