Last Two Weeks in the Garden and a Flower Quiz

A break from Outer Hebrides Island-hopping
Acanthus mollis - this plant is several years old - delighted that it has finally decided to flower
 I thought that this was a Heuchera but now I am not so sure - it too has flowered for the first time - suggestions welcome. 
Lots of different Morning Glories all grown from seed
These Calla Lilies have survived several winters in a pot outside
Crocosmia lucifer
Lilium davidii
Lilium leichtlinii
There are far too many of these Japanese anemones but I don't have the heart to pull them out - they have grown so tall that they are higher than the drystone wall. Once successfully established they can become rather thuggish
A planter filled with Nasturtium Princess of India and Convolvulus Royal Ensign - seeds poked in the pot and left to their own device

********NOW FOR THE FLOWER QUIZ********

I love this flower and so do the little hover-flies -   I will switch on comments moderation to give everyone a chance - one clue only - this is a macro shot
