Thought at first it was Alchemilla conjuncta, but it has a silver edge, and silver underneath. I have it - a lovely plant.

From the Master Database, there's an Iris called  Iris 'Katherine Hodgkin' 
Might that be it?

[Palustris]

Looks like it G.
Is No 2 Saponaria officinalis flore plena rosea? Long name for a thug of a plant if it is.
Thought that was what the last one is. Kathwhatserface, but there is another similar one and we have had both.
3 and 4 are Orchids, but which ones? Might even be dfferent viewds of the same one.
No 6 may be Carpenteria.
Ta.

No 3 and 4 both look like Dactylorhiza elata, I thinkits the only one without spotted leaves. 5 looks like Cistus corbariensis.

[Tom]

Sorry, last post should read Cistus x corbariensis.

A bit confused by your posting Eric:
RE:

Looks like it G.

Which number were you referring to?

RE:

No 6 may be Carpenteria.

Is it not an Alchemilla?

I think Tom is right about Dactylorhiza. I was about to post but he beat me to it.
I don't know what species though, and Tom has come up with an good suggestion.

I have a photo of Dactylorhiza maderensis which led me to think it was the correct Genus. However, it looks purple in my photo. Now in the early days (when that photo was taken) I had great difficulty with some pink colours which could come out in the photo looking anything from purple to blue! So, my photo may be unreliable, but may be another suggestion for your plant, if you want to check it out.
As I recall, it was quite a tall plant 50 cms or so (perhaps). I was impressed by it. It was in the garden of Harold McBride, a well known Alpine Gardener here in Northern Ireland.
I made up this web site with his photos.

Must add some more using WPG.

No1 might be  XHalimiocistus wintonensis 'Merrist wood Cream' or straight Halimium lasianthum 'Sandling'.

[Palustris]

Sorry G. Should not post when I am half blind with a migraine.
Alchemilla alpine is right, I think.
No 5 (not No 6)I thunked was Carpenteria, but Tom now says Cistus x corbariensis which we did have so probalby correct.
Dactletc. elata confirms what I was already thinking. This just arrived in the garden from parts unknown. I think it must have been in another plant which we bought.
The Halmociistus is a bit more difficult as neither name rings a bell, but then we did buy a lot of shrubs when we began which were mixed and unlabelled.
Now if you don't mind I am going to take some very strong pain killlers and go to bed. See you!

Hope the migraine passes quickly, Eric. You already had a headache over all these photos with now names, but nothing complared to migraine.
Let us know when you are feeling better.

No 7 could be Pauline

Agreed! We did plant a whole lot of named ones at one time, but they refuse to reflower so we have not really bothered for a while.
