    Thank you so much! I was never able to figure this one out!

    Thank you! The squill and weigela are definitely correct- they have been stumping me for years

    5 appears to be correct...7 does appear to be an anemone- thank you :)

    oh gosh- I didn't see it- thanks Andrey! and everyone else who helped (in my defense I will say that my eyes are really tired after editing about 15, 000 photos the past two weeks)

    In a nutshell, the common plant sold as Lithodora diffusa, is really Glandora prostrata, while true Lithodora diffusa is not cultivated, and is properly called Glandora diffusa.
