the first 2 are alliums
the orange one erysimums
the ones in the water Iris pseudocorus
the last an aquilegia, Nora Barlow or similar
that's a start
In the sticks near Peterborough
photo 1 Alium
photo 7 Yellow flag iris
photo 5 & 7 Candelabra Primular may me
Thank you, very interesting. More so than Chelsea.
The white one Nut is that commonly known as cow parsley?.
photo 3 Cannas once again may be
Hope Nut doesn't mind me butting in
No, not Cow's Parsley which is Anthriscus sylvestris https://wildplants.wordpress.com/category/cow-parsley/
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Brown plant in photo 4 is possibly Uncinia uncinata.
The dark leaves might perhaps (hedging my bets here!) be Eucomis 'Sparkling Burgundy'.
Try Erysimum 'Apricot Twist' for the darker orange one, though I'm fairly sure the lighter one I had last year was callled that too
. The purple one is most likely E. 'Bowles Mauve'
the white ones are alliums musher
In the sticks near Peterborough
Oh wow, thank you - you guys are so clever! Just looked some of these up - would look so nice in my garden! But sooo expensive!! Even the erysium is so expensive.
That Eucomis burgundy is so beautiful. When would you plant bulbs of this? Or even if it's canna - are these bulbs and when do you plant it? Which variety of canna could it be?
