ASA,
1. Purple leaves = Purple queen, or Tradescantia
2. Pointed variegated purple leaves = Rhoeo
3. Pink flowers = Verbena
4. Red and green leaves = looks like Coleus, flowers will help
5. Drooping branches = ?
6. Variegated white and green leaves = common but the name escapes my mind
Regards.

missed the 3 pictures...
Digitate leaves with white and green = tapioca plant
Bright orange flowers , looks like "orange flame" plant. Blooms have to be compared carefully
Drooping branches with reds flowers without leaves = Russelia
I think Tahir bhai is right...it could be Amaranth. Do you have a flower and leaves close up? Coleus has a vey patterned leaf surface and serrated leaf edges.
Just curious about those purple flowers which gave a first impression of purple daffodils which don't exist :-)
No idea about that grass!

ASA, and thanks for you replies
I searched gor the grass, its red fountain grass, which is all green rightnow since I am keeping it in shade. The varigated leaves, again after lots of research, its Alternanthera ficoidea "Party time" cultivar.
The purple flower, still no idea. I bought it 3 years ago. It has bloomed only once (And thats the flower that I photographed)
The orange flower, it looks very similar to orange flame (Justicia chrysostephana), but there is one difference. Neither flowers nor the leaves in my plant are as "orderly" as orange flame. Also the leaves a a bit narrower and longer that what I see one the net. So it must be something related but different. Or may be its a different cultivar of the same species.
