ID ALL THE THINGS! (please!)

We moved house 6 months ago and I'm trying to work out what's in our garden. I haven't got a clue about plants. So far I've managed to identify a holly tree, some bamboo and irises, and we've had crocuses, hyacinths,bluebells, daffodils and sorrel in a raised bed. And there's an apple tree, a cherry blossom tree and TONNES of ivy as well. After that I'm stumped.

1,2,4 - rhododendrons or azaleas, can't tell how big they are.
3 - astilbe
5 - spiraea
6 - camellia

The first two in the first post are both rhodedendron as is the first pic in your second post.

Third one on the second post is a rather beautiful rose, looks thornless which is a bonus!

Can't remember the names of the other two though I have both in my garden!

Top 2 azaleas (or maybe rhododendron I'm crap at telling the difference in pics), primula, hypernicum?, not sure on last one
May be wrong, I'm a bit of a novice gardener

8 - lavatera

10 - St John's wort possibly

9- callistemon

Thanks everyone! The rhododendron isn't an azalea, apparently an azalea only has 5 stamens and it has 10. I'm loving fluffy red thing : ) (the name, not the plant - it's not really my cup of tea).

Now there's some hope that I can maintain things as they should be!

If you have cats get the orange flower (tigerlily) out asap, it is deadly. One brush with the pollen and bye bye kidneys.

13- escallonia
14- spotted laurel

I love the 3rd one at 18:43:13 and the second one at 18:44:58. Really unusual foliage. I'll be back to see what they are if someone IDs them.
