Thanks Kate, you're right with Toadflax, I remember now.
I'd not heard of bedding dahlias before, will they grow much bigger do you think? I suppose they are about 25cm tall right now in flower. However they were in pots until recently and could have been for some time.
Number 3 looks like a Sidalcea I think. Number 4 looks like a Stinking Hellebore-Helleborus foetidus. Number 5...I have it in my garden or should have but it certainly isn't flowering yet.... it is Purple Toadflax-Linaria purpurea.

Purely by chance I just found that no.2 is Acanthus Spinosus http://www.gardenersworld.com/plants/acanthus-spinosus/3176.html
The last one looks like Purple Toadflax? I would suggest that the dahlias may just be bedding dahlias and may never have been named.

Hi Nola,
Thank you very much, no.3 is definately Sildalcea and No.4 could well be a Hellebore although I'm not toally sure, I'll watch to see what it does.
Appreciate your observations.
