Do you have a knowledge of flowers?
I went to Osborne House during my last holiday on the Isle of Wight.
I went into the Walled Garden there and took loads of photos of some of the flowers there. The problem is I don’t have a very good knowledge of flowers, so could you help me out please?
The photos can be found at this link: http://flickr.com/photos/30667334@N05/sets/72157607425876322/
Please don’t make fun of me, please, I’m asking a serious question here because I don’t know the names of many flowers, I recognise some but can’t think of the names.
Thank you very much.

I’d really like to know the names of each of these flowers, as I’m putting them into an album soon.
This link is better, thought it was the one I’d put in but it wasn’t.

phoenix2frequent, thanks so much for your really informative answer! I’ve added the names of the ones you’re sure of, so anyone who knows the definite names of the remaining ‘nameless’ flowers, please help!
😀
‘phoenix2frequent’ – you’re a star, thanks so much for your help in identifying these flowers, I’m such an idiot when it comes to flowers and their names.
Also, thanks to ‘glenn t’ and ‘michaelangliron’ for your help, too.
Just two flowers left to identify – flowers 34 and 37, any additional help welcome. If no one has managed to get it by the end of the question deadline (4 days at time of typing), I’ll send them off to Osborne House to ask them for their help.
Thanks again guys!
