Aren't these lists getting a bit long? *Maybe a few good gardening

1) Salvia splendens - *could be any one of many hybrids*. * *2)
Abutilon hybrid. * *3) Cuphea lanceolata 'Firefly'.
4) Lantana camara - could be 'New Gold', 'Lucky Yellow' or any other
yellow since the flowers aren't open.
5) Salvia splendens - see *. * 6) Salvia patens. * *7) Caryopteris x
clandonensis could be 'Heavenly Blue'.
8) Salvia microphylla or greggii hybrid - need a better shot.
9) Centranthus ruber 'alba'. * *10) Coreopsis lanceolata hybrid - need
a much better shot to discern which one.
11) Sedum spectabile. * *12) Potentilla - probably fruticosa or one of
its hybrids. * *13) Nicotiana sylvestris.
14) Dianthus chinensis 'heddewigii' hybrid. * *15) Where d'at go?
16) Astrantia major - possibly 'Temptation'.
17) Echinacia purpurea - one of the 'Butterfly' hybrids. * *18)
Penstemon 'Osprey' - although colour looks a bit off.

21) Scaevola aemula. * *22) Coreopsis verticillata.
23) Gladiolus callianthus.


I got 18 of them, but not down to variety,
I think that Dave Pool deserves a Prize for such detailed answers, at
least a good bottle of Malt.
Asking for ident of 2 or 3 is fair enough but a list like that is
almost a case of Spam.
