Wild flower identities?
 

I'm including a few photos of wild flowers in a DVD I'm making. Taken
by my wife during our walking holiday in Devon last summer. Would like
to add name captions so would much appreciate identification please.

My suggestions, but wait until others have confirmed them, or
otherwise!
1) Not sure; a labiate, poss. a hemp-nettle, Galeopsis species, but
can't really see the leaves.
2) Soapwort, Saponaria officionalis, http://tinyurl.com/z78pmd8
3) Evening primrose, Oenothera ?elata, http://tinyurl.com/orb7lgr
4) Viper's bugloss, Echium vulgare, http://tinyurl.com/ovpewof
5) Small scabious, Scabiosa columbaria, http://tinyurl.com/pcet9xc

1st is some form of thyme

I don't think so - in fact, I'm pretty sure of it. I side with Chris
Hogg, in that it's a labiate (as thyme is) but it's unclear which.
They can be quite easy to confuse, and the leaves and scent are
important for distinguishing them.

If you compare the leaves in this pic

with those in

both look to be alike

A labiate. (Definitely not Galeopsis; I'd go for Thymus polytrichus, but
none of the thymes grow round here, and I'm not familiar with them.)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...-120142-JC.JPG

Yes, Saponaria officinalis (note spelling).

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...122912-JCp.jpg

Oenothera biennis agg. (I don't think it's O. elata, which doesn't grow
wild in Britain, but you need a closer look - and a guidebook to hand -
to tell which one it is.)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...120600-JCc.jpg

Yes, Echium vulgare.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...111514-JCz.jpg


Jasione montana. (Scabiosa columbaria has zygomorphic flowers and
pseudo-radiate heads; Succisa pratensis is more easily confused with
Jasione, but has hammer-like anthers, and a less compact habit. Jasione
is rare up here - I know 3 sites and it's not always present in one of
them - but I understand it to be quite common in the southwest.)

In the vernacular, thyme (?), soapwort, evening primrose, viper's
bugloss and sheeps bit.

You could be right. I am more familiar with it growing in different
conditions.

Wild thyme was my first thought.
