    HERE
    If you click on the photos,you'll see a larger version which might be necessary for some images.

    Thank you all so much in advance.

    9) Not sure ...
    10) Not sure ...
    11) Osteospermum
    12) Not sure ...
    13) Veronica persica (Speedwell, Bird's Eye) ???
    14) Galanthus (Snowdrop) again
    15) Petunia
    16) Cerastium tomentosum(Snow-in-Summer) ???
    17) Rudbeckia ???

    10 is gonna be tough an allium maybe
    9 thought it was a white ragged robin silene but not so sure on second look
    17 Dahlia
    12 himalayan balsam

    I go with Victoria on the others and like Victoria not convinced by 16. I have 17 as Dahlia not Rudbekia but could be wrong.

    If you were after full Genus species and cultivar/variety names that could be very tough for some of them.

    I would basically agree with Victoria with the added comments

    1 Dahlia or even Chrysanthemum bud
    2 called Echnacea now - spun off from Rudbeckia
    8 could be Leucanthemum vulgare (the wild flower) or an Argyranthemum (marguerite)
    9 not sure - could well be white campion
    10 could be any number of things
    12 yes Himalayan balsam (Impatiens glandulifera) which is an invasive weed.
    13 I would say a Veronica - not sure which
    17 looks like Tithonia rotundifolia
    18 - very weedy - not good on weeds - I don't have them in my garden :D - not sure it is chickweed - looks more like a Euphorbia - peplus?

    Getafix - I was so tied up in trying to identify you plants, that I forgot to say what lovely photos they were.

    I see a very polished web site now - congratulations.
