    I really haven't got a clue, but I'll go in no particular order ...

    Pansy
    Hydrangea
    Rosemary
    Lavender
    Forget me Not
    Mint
    Dicentra
    Hebe
    Scented Geranium
    Violet

    ... and that's the guess from Portugal.

    PS I hadn't seen Pal's answers as I was busy studying the photos but I see we've duplicated a few.

    I really don't think so, but what I said was a Hebe, could it be a Spirea or Lilac, a bit in miniature form?

    Agree with you windy, it's that thing in the background, also the thingy hanging out with the pansies! Oh, and the pink-flowered thingy!

    I can't see Bamboo, Jarbax, but you could be right!

    [​IMG] WELL DONE...........I knew GC members would come up trumps,I think we are there.
    Paladin and LoL had the same seven which were correct.
    Windy and JarBax you got the bamboo,that was difficult ,you could hardly see it and the Juniper.The pink flower at the back left is Skimmia well done Blackthorn,you were the only one who got that.
    So JarBux you shaded it with 9/10.
    A useful exercise,got me thinking as well.. ;)
