1. Justicia of some description or a very close relative.
6. Ranunculus hybrid.
7. Belongs to the Ericaceae; without leaves I have a hard time with these.
8. Aquilegia, aka Columbine. One of the pink hybrids.

 

Yes # 4 agree w/ SS
# 6 could be a ranunculus but without pics of leaves it's hard to tell.
# 7 Pretty sure it's one of about a bazillion columbines or aquilegia.
Google these and see if you come to the same conclusion. barb

 

I wanted to say many thanks to all of you plant detectives out there. I have one more that I left out.Cheers! Richard
