Yea it's a pain being restricted to pic size. I've given up on the iPhone now. Just use my tab occasionally as I have a pic editor on there. Anyway one is definitely a hosta. Looks like one could be a wallflower. Another is some kind of berry such as Logan or maybe a currant. Helpful ain't i ? :-)

The first of the three above looks like a red/white or blackcurrant, the last photo a gooseberry?

TOGITV - I SO LOVE YOU!   :tongue2: When I have stopped chuckling over your attempts to put photos on here and, when I consider that I've looked at the Forum's advice then asked various members for help to do it, the attempts I have tried and failed at, and still can't do it, I will have another look at the pix and let you know in a minute.  :lol: (Falls over keyboard saying "Thank God it's not just me!).
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

OK - I'm back and here are my thoughts:
DSC 808,11,13 - I think they're Fuschias but not convinced about 811.
DSC 814 - cyclamen (can't say if it is a spring or autumn one).
DSC 815 - fruiting bush that could be either a red, white currant or a gooseberry.
DSC 816 - GOK (as in God only knows)!
DSC 817 - definitely a Hosta.
DSC 831 - looks like a hawthorn.
DSC 833 - a raspberry?
DSC 834 - going out on one here - a Ligularia????
DSC 837 - a redcurrant - see the ripening fruits!
DSC 838 - a perennial geranium.

Best of luck!!  :lol:

Lol, I was having quite a nightmare with it, I have "rural" broadband, (its slower than dial up i'm sure!) so uploading photos can take hours, I've been meaning to take those photos and ask questions for days and when i finally do-its all error messages! argh...

 The plant in the first photo (with the Cat, she got in the way till i took her photo) has a rather thick old looking trunk, bit like a really old rose, and very strange double buds (they look like a pair of downward boobs with black nips, can think of no other way to describe them) 

the next plant (811) has a label, it says:  5" purple flowering.

(a 5" purple flowering What though ?)

The one on the right looks like a currant of some description - either flowering (i.e. ornamental) or fruiting.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
