Hi Again Everyone I hope you all don't mind me posting for more ID's. I have real difficulty finding reference pictures for flowers, and even my books on the subject haven't got a clear way to search for particular plants. Could number 2 possibly be either a dahlia or mexican sunflower? The rest I've no idea. TIA for any help. All taken in Kensington Gardens, London, England Clarke
3. It looks like Aster, common name Michaelmas daisy .Dozens of different ones .Very common in the U.K at this time of year are Aster novi-belgii and Aster novae-angliae.Hope this helps.
