We might be getting the pictures mixed up (these hibiscus threads are
very confusing). The one with blue flowers I thought was a sage? I
thought the red one might have been a penstemon but do not know them
so well.

If you look at 7057 in an enlarged version, it is one of those new antirrhinums with an open flower rather than the bunnymouth type of flower.

7074 is definitely a salvia.

The leaves make me think this is a yellow version of Lantana camara. You
usually see it in its two-coloured version, planted widely in the Greek
islands, but T&M (IIRC) were selling it, so presumably it survives here,
at least in the summer. The flowers are followed by fruits which look
improbably like blackberries.

I agree with the Penstemon ID. I think the blue one is a Salvia - maybe.
The yellow might be a Rudbeckia, the first is Agapanthus and the last is
almost certainly Lysimachia punctata. The yellow multi headed job has
leaves that look a bit like a primula.

It would help to know where the photos were taken, of course!

*Not* a Penstemon, but one of those newer forms of 'lip-less'
snapdragons - Antirrhinum majus hybrids. There are several doing the
rounds this year and depending upon source, the name seems to vary.
'Bouquet', 'La Bella', 'Bells' all produce these open trumpet
flowers. The name of the one in the pic escapes me for the moment,
but it is one of a series recently introduced and has been offered by
the larger gardens centres and DIY sheds over the past couple of
years. Not that nice IMO - the lips are part of the charm getting rid
of them takes the 'snap' from the 'dragon'. As a kid I used to be
fascinated watching bumble bees struggle to get in past the lip for a
sip of nectar, and then have an even greater struggle getting out.

http://www.gardenbanter.co.uk/attach...achmentid=9614

One of the Lantana camara group. It could be a named variant, but
almost any batch of seed with produce very similar. A noxious weed in
warmer countries, it is intolerant of our wet, cool/cold winters and
is only used for summer bedding-out in the UK. The near prostrate L.
montevidensis with its smaller heads of lilac mauve is moderately
hardy in the far south.

I hold by my identification of 7057 as a butterfly antirrhinum. See this image as comparison: http://tinyurl.com/6zrslu

A penstemon's buds are not the same. See this image: http://tinyurl.com/6ga5xt

Yes, you and David Poole both got that one. I don't think I've seen it at
all but will have to do a hunt through the suppliers' catalogues!
