Grandma's Garden

Visiting Grandma in Cheshire at the weekend I took the opportunity for a tour of her garden to learn and practise flower names.  Her garden was full and looking lovely and there was a lot to learn, but here are a few I remember and snapped.

Irises in the front garden.  Some of Grandpa's favourites.
 Bachelor's Buttons in the front garden
Azalea I think - they will be one of my hardest to learn as they so often look different.
Could it be a regular wallflower?
Maybe everlasting wallflower? Good agrees.
 I think another azalea - it had a word meaning big in the name grandma said.
 Can this be another azalea???
Now I do recognise this one, but have forgotten the name - will have to look in my diary.  The flowers face down on it.   Just looked and I think it was the aquilegia.  Google seems to agree with me.
 Rhododendron in the back garden - looking at its peak I think.

As you can tell I'm really not that certain about plant names so if you know any please let me know so I can learn.
