    I have split this into two parts so it is not too cumbersome.

    [​IMG]
    1 Astrantia - spot on SussexG.

    [​IMG]
    2 Dicentra - really pretty at this stage.

    [​IMG]
    3 Hollyhock

    [​IMG]
    4 Polmonium or Jacob's Ladder

    [​IMG]
    5 Sidalcea - well done all. I keep looking at it and thinking Lesser celendine.

    6 Campanula persifoila

    [​IMG]
    7 Euphorbia griffithi 'Fireglow'. Spot on Wilroda and Pete. I almost said don't look at the spikes themselves - just look at the number of them. I think my two year old plant is already about six feet across. :D

    8 Lupin - lovely foliage.

    [​IMG]
    9 Papaver orientale - poppy

    10 Its a wallflower - perhaps its from a funny angle.

    Not much into herbaceous perennials, so I go along with whats been said.

    The only one apart from the lupin that stands out to me is no 7, I think its Euphobia griffithii.
    Probably Fireglow.
