Rowan, probably the native Sorbus aucuparia (the berries look a bit on
the crimson/pink side, but I'll blame the camera - at least I've had
trouble with correct rendition of reds in digital cameras.)

Rudbeckia or Echinacea, or possibly Heleniopsis or something else in
that area.

Lilium (Lily) - reminds me of Lilium martagon, but if I recall correctly
there are other possibilities.

Nice picture. I'd guess at an Aster.

Agreed Hypericum. Thought Tutsan at first (and from leaf colour in the
background), but berries are too elongated. Ditto Rose of Sharon. Are
there any other widely grown Hypericums of that size in the UK?

If it's not that, it could be one of the pink berried ones which start
quite dark red and fade to pink or white. Leaves not right for S
vilmorinii else I'd go for that.

You see cultivars with a Tutsan like habit in the garden centres every
now and again. Google finds me pictures of Hypericum FLAIR(TM) (which
are Tutsan cultivars, but don't have sufficiently elongated berries).
Digging a bit further gets me to Hypericum x inodorum 'Elstead' which is
commonly grown, and does look a reasonable match.

I've seen hybrids of South American origin on sale, but none of the
names in Plantfinder ring a bell, so I can't offer images for
comparison.

Yes, I think 7588 is Sweet Yarrow!?

How about 7644, the one with yellow flowers and seed pockets/ pods?

Got it - Colutea arborescens http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3052/...f7a79e.jpg?v=0

Colutea arborescens aka bladder senna.

May I ask you a couple of questions? Where are you gardening? Do you not
recognise a Dahlia because it is unfamiliar to you in your gardening area?

I don't have my own garden. I love photography and have been taken quite a lot of plant/ flower pictures recently.

I think I know how to differentiate dahlia now. Some of them look like chrysanthemums to me...

They are relatively easy to differentiate, if you look at the stems and leaves. Those of dahlias are fleshy and a bright green [apart from the dark leaved forms, of course], whereas chrysanthemum stems look woody and the leaves are a duller green. Also, chrysanthemum has a very distinctive smell which dahlias don't have.

Ah, got it. I can't find it now but somewhere online there is a terrific
resource of plant photographs which would interest you, I think. There are
just so many different Dahlias that while people could identify one as a
Dahlia, it might be hard to say which one it is, precisely.

Thanks, beccabunga.

Another reason why I get confused between dahlia & chrysanthemum:-
We treat dahlia as a type of chrysanthemum in Chinese language.

Dahlia = "Dali chrysanthemum" in Chinese; we also call it "Indian peony".

Chrysanthemum = "chrysanthemum" in Chinese; which we use it to make chrysanthemum tea that has a stronger taste/ smell than camomile tea. By the way, we also treat camomile as a type of chrysanthemum in Chinese - it's known as "sweet chrysanthemum"!!

So I wonder, if dahlia is edible...
