Small leaf, very compact.


Cotoneaster??

These seem to be multiplying. *Leaf starts out green, quite quickly
becomes variegated and I think ends up with a little white pointed
flower. *Invasive?


aggree with Des on Houttuynia cordata 'Chameleon'

Polygonatum multiflorum, Salomon's seal

?


possibly an Epilobium??

These look like the beginnings of gladioli. *There were just a few
isolated ones in the garden last year so I'm wondering how such a
tightly clustered bunch will fare. *Will these all flower or will they
die in the crush? *Or are they not gladioli?


I would rather think Crocosmia

A lot of patches of this on old walls. *Tiny little flower.


again agree with Des on Linaria


And your choices look good; this is bad form; we surely should have a
row about this somehow.
