    No.1 looks like Viola labradorica. No.3 is Viola koreana.

    No.2 looks familiar................

    1.Don't think it's a violet, my first thought was epimedium but I think the leaf is too fleshy.
    2.Pieris
    3.Again, not a violet, it's one of those heuchera/heucherella/tiarella things which I can't tell the difference between!

    Agree with Madahhlia re 2 and 3. I've got 3 and can't for the life of me remember what it's called. Pretty sure it's a Heuchera rather than a Heucherella as it does so so here, found that unless they are the old varieties most Heucheras don't do well here while varieties of Heucheraella seem much tougher and cope fine with my climate.
