Echium (sea holly relative) - don't know species/variety

Are you sure about Echium, Kay? I associate that with the very tall
spires
of flowers we see in e.g. Tresco or sheltered gardens here. I thought it
was Eryngium.

Sea holly is a species of Eryngium (some people expand the term to the
whole genus), so I think we can assume that Echium was a thinko for
Eryngium.

Japanese anemone

And ?Tagetes

I'd like to see scale, habit and foliage, and even then might well not be
sure (it seems to be a "double", which doesn't help identification), but
Tagetes seems more plausible than Zinnia.

I thought Tagetes until I saw the simple leaf, then I thought Zinnia, so I
support Sacha.
I agree on Eryngium cv and Japanese Anemone 'Honorine Jobert'.

Spider

so, whats the orange one called then?

cheers,
