Chelsea Haul

Okay. Photo-heavy post here as I have a horrible headache that won't ease up. Here's the haul from the Chelsea Sell-Off (it's really blurry because I was taking photos in awful light yesterday). First up, this was from the LK Bennett garden and I haven't a scoobies what it is but the lovely gentlemen just picked up a handful and gave it to me with the fern:


Blurry "Lilac Wings" lavender from Isle Of Wight Lavender (it's not Mesozoic but it makes bees happy):


Blechnum novae zelandiae from Burncoose Nurseries:


And sheltering under it a delightful little painted fern (I assume) from the LK Bennett garden:


Either it's a variegated Asplenium scolopendrium or it's really quite poorly, from the Children's Society Garden, with a Zantedeschia from City of Durban:


This is the best photo I have of the very frilly other fern from Burncoose Nurseries:



The bargain Banksia "Birthday Candles", from which I've taken some cuttings (hey, they might take!):


This has to be an Athyrium nipponicum (would be nice if it was an "Ursula's Red" as the little ones I have don't seem too happy):



And a very VERY blurry Polystichum minutum from Desert To Jungle:



Sorry for the appalling photos. If any of you can identify anything beyond what I've managed I'll be really grateful. I can't match anything up with the plant lists at the moment!
