Plant Identification

A friend in Hay River Northwest Territories is growing this for some years, and says its on the verge of weed status!! Such a weed I could use...

This Stachys (I presume it is a Stachys) did I collect in Caucasus some years ago. It is very similar to S. macrantha but not quite. The leaves are very soft and downy and it grows in moist soil here!

Pure white flower, one per stem, about 10 inches off the ground. Perennial. I think this is A. sylvestris. What do you think?

Snow-white flowers, arranged in an umbel, about 8 inches off the ground. Perennial.

The flowers are ivory-white, and are about a foot off the ground. Reliable perennial, sets lots of seed.

I planted something here but apparently failed (again!) to note the name... looks interesting. I don't recall planting Erythronium there... ? Trillium? Any ideas? Thanks.

This little plant has segmented runners and the 4/5 petal deep blue flowers bloom on 2 inch stems. The stamens are prominent - made me think of Hebe/Veronica. The basal leaves are 1 inch long, shiny and convex. Fran

An amazingly cute, but unfortunately anonymous, Pulsatilla that has been in one of my troughs for some years has finally bloomed today. The leaves are very flat - about 1cm tall - and the flower stalks are up to 6-7 cm tall. The flowers are quite a dark purple (in case my photos do not show the same on different monitors). Can anyone identify it, please? I've also posted my query over at SRGC so between here and there, I'm sure to get a name soon! Thanks.

I got this as Trillium chloropetalum. It's a western US species or hybrid. It multiplies by bulb offsets, and is very vigorous. Any ideas?

How do you distinguish between T. albidum and T. chloropetalum?

Thanks.

Does anyone recognise this Jack?
