You've already gotten a lot of answers. I think RScott has the closest answers!
I agree:
#1: Gazania, #2 Hibiscus, #3 Vinca.
From there, I think that #4 is Ice Plant (Delosperma, maybe "John Proffitt"). I use the common name Cupid's Dart for plant #5 (Catananche).
I hope that this helps

I looked more carefully too, I think RScott is right about the Chicory. The stamens are different too!
What's up with all the thumbs down, except for RScott?

Yep, #4 is Ice Plant, not Mum (look at the leaves). #5 could be either Chicory or Cupid's Dart, but I'm going with Cupid's Dart - the edges of the petals look a bit more like that.

Actually, RScott got them all right but one.
Gazania, hibiscus, vinca, (ice plant) , and the last one is Chicory.
Here is an identical picture for comparison.
