FLOWER GUESSING GAME!

Ok, so We've already determined that I'm no gardener...but how good are you? The following are flowers from my garden...all growing wild (except my herbs). Can you name that foliage? If so, please let me know!

Randomly looking at blogs for ideas. I know it's strange but I can help you with some of your flowers! The yellow ones with fuzzy leaves are some type of sunflower. The purple one with the star shape looks like a clematis but can't be sure from pic. Is it a vine? The white ones with yellow centers are daisies. Look like Shasta daisies (Chrysanthemum maximum 'Supra'). The purple-ish ones with yellow "tongues" are some sort of iris. The last photo with the small red flowers are a heuchera. Possibly Heuchera sanguinea. I've seen the 5 white-petal with purple and the white "drops," but can't identify. Likely all of these are not "wild" but planted by previous owners. Quid pro quo you can find our blog at rhybh.blogspot.com. Good luck with flower identification!

Thanks so much for the help! The purple one is a clematis and going nuts! By 'wild' I meant that I have no control (or idea) of what to do with them! I had no idea about the heuchera...we have these everywhere...must have been the previous owner's favorites! My mint is getting ready for mojitos!
