Thank you all for your names - I have now labelled all the pictures accordingly. I have many more but I think they will have to wait for another day. However I can't resist a few pictures taken on our evening stroll this evening - after the rain had freshened up the island this is what we saw.
Yes, I thought you might nutcutlet - I have more pictures of it - it grows out of stone walls here like nobodies business - most garden walls in the lanes here are dry stone granite and it is surprising how many attractive plants reseed in them each year.
I have one rescued from my son's chimney when it was rebuilt, it grew in nothing there. After moving from the ground where I planted it to the surface of a lump of concrete it's very happy.
I sowed your Navelwort today, It didn't rain as much as I had hoped but eventually there'll be enough to get it going
Funny isn't it, my Harts Tongue ferns grow and spread beautifully in the dry stone walls that line some of the stream, but if I try to plant them in soil, they just sulk.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
There are plants growing in the most inhospitable of places, they are born survivors yet as you say nut and pd when we try to give them a better home they just don't want to know. These polypodium are a fine example and are quite attractive with their lime green foliage.

You can rely on Alan Clark's ID of 1. GD
2 is Alchemilla mollis, no doubt re that.
That twist of the petals on the last confirms Trachylospermum jasminoides rather than stephanotis
Just leaves 4 which I think is Crinum powellii album, the leaves look like that, not a lily.

I love the polypodium peeping through the ivy

I saw some Hart's Tongue on a wall inside a lean-to GH yesterday. The owner had no idea how they found enough moisture up there.
