Hi Russ,
Going back to your flower posting from 16 Nov., the only one that was instantly obvious to me was photo 2 - Viper's Bugloss (unless I'm corrected). The others require deeper research. Hope you're not too depressed to be heading home !!
Cheers, Chris

Hi Russ,

I can identify the flowers as follows:
Photo 2 : Viper's Bugloss
Photo 6: Snapdragon family : Toadflax and I believe this is Common toadflax (linaris vulgaris) / These flowers are said to attract the small skippers but I have personally never observed it. I have seen bumble bees on them but never any butterflies.
Photo 11 : It is one of the Verbascum or Muellein flower (I am not sure which one).
I can't help you with the other plants unfortunately.
Hope this helps,
Sylvie

Hi Chris, Viper's Bugloss seems correct, well done and yes I'm a little sad to be going home but I get to see my lovely grand-children again. :D

Hi Silvie and Bugboy, Thanks for your comments, you both seem to suggest the same names for the same flowers which shows you are both knowledgeable.
I only knew Michelmas-daisies and the Scabious(didn't know which one :? ) so thanks again to both of you.
