    1 looks like a Primula.
    2, Heuchera.
    3, Urg! I should know but don't.
    However, you do have a Fittonia verschaffeltii next to it.

    Ha! Hey Barb, saw your answers after I posted mine.
    Will be interesting to read other members' IDs!

    The third one is a Heather, is it not?
    Erica?

    The second is definitely a Heuchera. Possibly a variety called 'Jade Gloss'

    #3 looks like a Norfolk Pine (Araucaria heterophylla) gone mad. When they're very young they can look like that.

    is it possible the leaves on the sample are thinner than this? and the leaf arrangement does not look quite spot on.

    Yep, I initially thought N-I Pine for 3...but the needle arrangement seemed ? too widely spaced/spiky somehow. Hey, let it grow and see what happens! (Always my motto.)

    Might be E. carnea or E. x darleyensis. I'd compare it, in person with living specimens of both to see.

    I believe S. reflexum is a syn for rupestre. Around here rupestre has denser leaf spacing (though that can vary depending on light/watering) and has a fleshy stem.
