I recognised the lilies, and I feel certain the others are Mirabilis. Do they close their petals in the mornings, and open them again in the afternoons @DrCase ? because they are often known as the four o'clock flowers. They have lots of different colours and can be easily grown from seed - I found a picture online.....

One very strange sunflower bloom facing the opposite direction of the sun and it's brothers and sisters. Must be a political statement?

I was going to say that...but the "politically correct" force suppressed it.It's far left - that sunflower.... and on that note I think I need to retire, it's gone 11pm here, and sleep calls

Similar in colouring Sheal, but it is the very strongly scented rambler called ''Veilchenblau'' It is my favourite plant for perfume.

The pots are Fox tail ferns
Righto! I looked up fox tail fern, and it said '' Asparagus densiflorous 'myersii' ''
It says that it's hardy in the USA from zone 9 upwards, but here I would have to look after it indoors, so I don't think I will trouble with it. I wish I could, but that's life!! It's mid summer now, and freezing cold. We have an easterly wind again this morning, so I shall have to garden again with my coat on. The big joke is, the people who tell lies are still trying to tell us that it will soon be doomsday, and it's the hottest springtime we have ever had, and we will soon go up in eternal flames!! What a load of b... old ballony 
I think the second photo may be a pineapple lily, but I still can't work out the gorgeous pink flower in the first one
