I wasn't sure where to post this, I hope I am in the right place!
I need the botanical or latin names to these plants:
alligator plant
desert rose
aloe
tulip
And there's this plant, I'm not even sure of the common name for it, it's a very common plant though. It's a long hanging vine, bright green leaves with white marble.
I really hope I am in the right place for this, if not please let me know!

Tulips are "Tulipa" - that's the easy one. :-) http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/b/Liliaceae/Tulipa/none/cultivar/0/

Is this your desert rose? http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/527/

Aloes are "Aloes" - also quite convenient. :-) http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/b/Aloaceae/Aloe/none/cultivar/0/

I couldn't find an alligator plant, and I'm not sure what your vine is. Can you post photos of them?

One problem with common names is they may be applied to entirely different plants in different locations. Botanical names still very quite a bit but are more uniform than common names. The ornamental sometimes called an alligator plant is Kalanchoe daigremontiana, also known as Mother of Thousands, Devils Backbone, Mexican hat plant,CRASSULACEAE and who knows what else. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/594/
