I'm new to the botany world and have been using BBC's plant finder to
try and identify some flowers by color and type but the example
pictures there aren't always the best quality. I've had luck with a
few but still need help with 10 more. If you can help identify any of
these or point me to a website that would, I'd be grateful.

1) Abutilon, probably a variety of Abutilon x hybridum; or, less
likely, one of its progenitor species.

2) Rudbeckia (Coneflower)?

3) pass, some sort of composite, but I can't place it.

4) Hibiscus; Outdoors in the UK I'd guess at Hibiscus syriacus
'Woodbridge'

5) pass.

6) another composite, but not one I know.

7) Ageratum (Flossflower) - I'm not sure that it's A. houstonianum,
which is the usual bedding plant.

8) pass. Possibly something in the Amaranthaceae/Chenopodiaceae area,

9) Saxifraga?

10) something in Crassulaceae - I'd go for Echeveria

BTW, you can compress the photographs somewhat before putting them up
on the web.


Sorry about the photo sizes, I downsized them a bit. And thanks for the
information, it should serve to advance my research by a substantial
amount. If anyone can fill in the blanks, it would be duly appreciated.

Thanks
