Anemone x hybrida  - trying to take over the garden
Another thug - Geranium procurrens
Colchicum
Gentiana paradoxa
Cosmos atrosanguineus
Kniphophia - not sure of the name.  A slug has eaten the stem half through in a long strip, hence the kink in the stem

There is not so much in flower in our garden now, but prompted by Ian Y's talk to the Norfolk Group these are some examples of small and enjoyable groupings of plants in the sand bed...

Sorry... Jungle John here with some more non alpine late season pics from a Kentish semi exotic garden.   :D

1 - Roscoea Cinnamon Stick

2 - Roscoea Cinnamon Stick

Some in my 'Hardy Begonia trial corner'

3 - Begonia Benitochiba

4 - Begonia ConnieBoswell

5 - Begonia Taliensis  (I so hope this turns out well as the leaves look just like my combat trousers  8) )

6 - Begonia SilverSplendor

A pic for Davey of a seedling Eucomis I have with a lively coconut scent (not a special looking plant  - but I keep it for the scent).  If anyone wants to try a few leaf cuttings let me know.  :-)
