    Nope not miniature...at least the ones I have seen.

    You are on the right track. Bonus points if you know the common name.

    Nope...Sloth was closer :)

    This plant grew outside in my wooded backyard back east. It was a protected species (and probably still is).

    It's called Lady's Slipper or Indian Moccasin. A member of the orchid family, at large.

    These I am not sure about, they are nursery grown ( the flowers) looks like a strawberry in the second pic. The flowers maybe a domino.

    [​IMG]How about this one? We found it up in the Sierras. I looked in a few books and did some surfing, but never found the name. Looked like it was from outer space.

    I just did a search, and I came up with...
    lewisia pygmaea
    When it blooms its beautiful, looks like you stumbled upon it out of blooming season
