the little pink one is Silene vulgaris , I think. No idea on the others.
thank you hostafan, the first three photos are of the same shrub/tree
I thought Silene latifolia... the white campion.
You probably need verdun for the other, but possibly one of the australian grevilleas have silky leaves.
I think Silene vulgaris, bladder campion,
In the sticks near Peterborough
Yes, it is bladder campion - they love growing on granite cliffs over here. As children we used to pick them just before the flowers opened and "pop" them on the back of our hands - in fact I did just that last week whilst out walking ....
they are so pretty, ive tried looking up the silver leaved on on google but so far no luck with an id, they had lots of them growing outside the minack theatre in penzance and in the surrounding gardens, so they were very exposed as the theatre is on the side of a cliff (open air) we had gone there to see 'squeeze' the band and the weather was so awful with thick fog & rain it was cancelled, well it's a risk with an open air concert but we hedged our bets with it being may

The cliffs there are granite just as they are here sanjy - so perhaps bladder campion are a particular feature of seaside cliffs - sorry about your open air concert, the weather was poor all around the southwest today I believe, it's a slow start to Spring/summer this year. Love the Silver Tree - I could do with a gold tree in this garden to pay for all the additions we have made to it!
