it would be useful to know where these were photographed KT . . . . could some of them be garden plants perhaps? . . . .

2 is no stonecrop - completely wrong family as well - it is a species of Helichrysum

3 is clearly a Centaurea - it's a big genus and if you're talking horticultural here . . . .

5 is Acanthus mollis

7 is a Silene but not S. vulgaris - that calyx is hairy!

11 you're not giving us many clues, mate! Anthemis tinctoria is a possibility, but I would like to see the involucre and the foliage

cheers

Thanks for the details Chris

2) I've checked my book for plants and H. stoechas fits the bill.

3) Centaurea sp.

5) Thanks A. mollis

7) Silene gallica fits the description of the hairy calyx

11) Think its Santolina chaemecyparissus

nah - that doesn't have ray florets! - either the all yellow form of Chrysanthemum coronarium or the Anthemis as I suggested

PS (this is Wild About Britain) should we really be encouraging people to show us their holiday pics from around the world?

can't wait for the "are these Grant's or Thompson's Gazelles?" . . . . "which New Zealand fern is this?" posts . . . . well actually I can (of course if you are not actually abroad I apologise unequivocally)

cheers

I was snorkelling in the Weddell Sea and I saw this big creature like the one Gregory Peck was chasing in Moby Dick. Don't know what it was. It had a squid in its mouth.
