I visited a garden with our North Northumberland Group last week, chock full of wonderful and interesting plants, enough to make my mouth water. Some were plants I knew but the ones below are plants I don't know.
the first was growing spreading into gravel nicely, just the sort of thing I can usually succeed with here
the second and third are the same plants, one shows the flowers the other the foliage
the last one I just dont know what it might be.
All are likely to be quite choice plants though, knowing the garden owner.

2 and 3 are Primula palmata - the photos look like my plant
-
I pretty sure the last one is Paederota bonarota; grows in crevices and in cracks in the mountains.
The first one could be Veronica bombycina but I am by no means sure about that one.
-
The last is definitely the Paedorota. I have lost mine. It didn't come up last spring and I regret it and I really loved it. Had it for years, don't know why it should have died. :'(
-
The first one looks like Collomia debilis but I'm not sure
-
I never would have picked those middle ones as a Primula, but the flower does look right. What a leaf for a Primula!! :o Amazing.
-
Many thanks all for your expertise. I thought that second one looked like a primula from the flower, but the leaf looked wrong and I've not come across it before. I had no idea about the other two though.
-
The first one looked familiar to me but I could not remember the name. I agree with Wim. It is Collomia debilis.

Another to add to my seed list then Roma, thanks. It was growing and spreading nicely in the gravel.
