The bottom two photographs are Geums Biita. I think the daisy-like plant is an osteospernum.

I disagree with Eileen. The yellow one looks like a Doronicum, Gullkorg in Norwegian. The Osteospermum can't grow outside all year in our climate. The three bottom ones are different Aquilegia, akeleie in Norwegian. I'd like to see the pale ones next to the Doronicum a bit closer up, and with foliage please?

I also forgot to post these ones too.
i don't know the names of.
this one i have taken pics i swear a hundred times, but i just can't get the detail at all. they are so white, and the sun comes from all angles and don't help.

Lovely flowers there, Biita.
You could try taking a parasol to hold over the flowers while you take your pics in the shade.
Perhaps the parasol will cut down on the "glare". ...unless you have a polarizing filter that you can screw onto your lens, that is.

The white ones look like primulas, the blue ones are scillas, they're bulbs. The last one is Ranunculus aconitifolius, sølvknapp or silver button in Norwegian. Also called duppesoleie.

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! I appriciate the norwegian names also, because i'll probably use those more.
Eileen, your way better than me with floowers, and if you say so,, i would believe it!!
Sjoerd thanks for the tip, on the lenses. I don't have a filter lense, but i did use 2 different sunglasses and tried both,,, the black frames worked the best,,, i just covered the lense with the sunglasses and this is what i got,,,best i could so.

Such a wide variety of flowers and beautiful blooms.
I had not realized until recently that Aquilegia aka Columbine would grow down here. For some reason I had it in my mind that it was a cool climate flower, I think I am going to order some for fall planting this year.

Thanks everyone! I promise Netty, I also have ones that are kind of white too, but they are way behind the dark lilacs.
Columbine, i've heard that term with flowers before...i just didn't know what they were, now i do! lol.
