  2. First thing I thought of was an avocado .. you can grow them from the pit.
    Here is a photo of one pulled off the internet.

  3. I agree with Natasha - it definitely looks like a type of ficus. I was thinking Ficus Lyrata that went unpruned.

  6. I agree with Natasha...if that's not an exact ID on the species, it's definitely the genus.

  8. Looks like a hoya to me, do a search for hoyas on the google images. They get lovely clusters of fragrant flowers.

  9. It's a old fashion Rubber Plant. Looks like it has been cut back several times so that it branched out in multiple branches.
