    JarBax, Privat can't be right for No 3 because I guessed that in my first guess and No 3 was still unidentified. Also No 17 is not a Bergenia as roders says above. [​IMG]

    [​IMG] OK...Jarbax my friend,you love these dont you?

    Well 16 correct.

    3,11,17, 19...wrong.

    Our learned friends Gogs and Miraflores have 17 correct Ajuga.
    So that "leaves" 3,11 and 19.
    No 3..Not quite its usual colour,only on young growth.
    No 11..Difficult but in flower at the moment.
    No 19 Is easy....just a mix up.

    Any last guesses?

    Nope, no more guesses ... I thought 3 was Privet and haven't got a clue on 11 as it looks like a tree, possibly deciduous which isn't my thing.

    I should have guessed Ajuga as I have a couple of varieties ... well done, Gogs and mira.

    JarBax is the star guesser as always, me'thinks. [​IMG]
