    Photos 2&3 look like one I had last year, can't remember the proper name but "million bells" springs to mind.

    I'm off for a google.

    "Calibrachoa"   ???

    That's my best guess. image

    I think the blue one is Platycodon or balloon flower and Kitty 2 got it in one for the other two.

    Thank you for all your naming efforts, I had never heard of Platycodon before.Four more to try to name. The second has a sort of coppery leaf, the third has a fluffy type of flower and the last one is more of a small tree/bush with hanging claw like flower.

    Wow! I got 2 out of 4, guess that's could do better on the report card. Keep posting those pictures though I am in need of lots of practice.

    2 Heuchera

    3 Spirea

    4 Balsam as B3 said

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Agree with Ladybird on all. It's a shrub potentilla, P. fruticosa so the leaves are ok

    Himalayan Honeysuckle is what the Leycesteria is aka for some reason
