Hi @LG_ thanks for your photos. It would help members' enquiries if you would legend your photos either with the plants' names (if you know them) or at least with numbers, for easy reference.
Well, I managed the first one but was a minute too late with the last one! These are the final six:
Astrantia major 'Gill Richardson' Polygonatum x hybridum (Solomon's Seal) Convallaria majalis (Lily of the Valley) Nectaroscordum siculum Iris, maybe ensata? Iris sibirica I think. The label just said 'Pacific Blue' (it didn't even say 'Iris'!)
And the Alliums in my first lot are 'Purple Rain' (the starrier ones) and 'Purple Sensation'.

@Jellyfire I add my compliments re your garden to those already posted here. Lots of colourful scenes, well-designed. Bravo!
@LG_ Many thanks for labelling your pics... and for not taking offence at my request to do so. -
"Rose, not sure? Possibly Iceberg", yes, it does look like it. I used to have one of those but pulled it up as it became very diseased after flowering and never ever re-flowered after June.
"Persicaria runcinata 'Purple Fantasy'" Funny container, looks like a chimney pot! Did you put it there to prevent it from spreading all over your garden, I wonder? I've only got one specimen but it does spread. Found an interesting article about that plant here: https://www.jackwallington.com/how-to-grow-persicaria-runcinata-purple-fantasy/
Persicaria runcinata 'Purple Fantasy' in my garden.
That's exactly what it is, and why it's there! The idea is for it to hide the plastic pot it's in, within the chimney pot, and it's growing really quickly so that won't take long.
The rose is one of several cuttings taken from one at my childhood home before we sold it after our parents died. So there's no question of getting rid of it! They always called it "the peace rose", but it's clearly not 'Peace'. It was grown as a climber, and I thought it might be 'New Dawn', but now I'm tending toward 'Iceberg', which is not a climber... so I don't know.
