    We were in Corkagh Park yesterday having a picnic and I saw these lovely flowers in the Rose Garden section.

    Can anyone identify any of them, I'd love to have them in my garden!

    Most gardens have campanula. It comes in variety from a few inches to about a meter in height. Very easy to grow from division which is done every couple of years. Have a look at friend’s gardens and ask for some in the autumn. They are perennials so will appear every year.
    The cistus doesn’t really like alkaline soil and is a short lived shrub. You will get longer in grown in the right conditions.
    Enjoy your gardening.

    Being pedantic I know but no.2 is specifically a Halimiocistus, just in case you were after that particular one.
