Flower Power

We live in an area famous throughout England for its flowers, and every day we get to see why. I admittedly am NOT a botanist and hardly know the names of any trees/flowers/plants. Here is a sampling of some of the flowers just on our street. I have given them alliterative names of my own, if you know their real names, please teach me!
a) Petal Power

b) Blue Beauties
c) Pretty Purples
d) Finally one I actually know - Rhodedendrons, or as we call them in the Pacific Northwest, Rhodies.
e) Precious Petals
f) Purplicious
g) Mellow Yellowh) Ruby Reds i) Yellow Yardstick j) Cutie Beauties
