A few flowers

We have a few flowers around the place at the moment so here are some photos of some of them.  Please excuse the abbreviated names!

The first two are container plants.  This is a bromeliad ...
 .. while with this one I can do no better than succulent.  Fortunately Sandra (see comment below) can suggest Echeveria sp.
 Our first iris: there are some buds on others but this is the first to actually show petal.
 The dutch irises are doing much better.


 The Euphorbias are doing nicely in a garden bed.

 Polyanthus continue  to look nice by the back door.
This white bush - you should excuse the technical term - makes a pretty focal point outside the kitchen window.  Sandra again comes to the rescue: Philadelphus sp
Finally one I can give two words to.  A crab apple!
 Usually the flowers arrive before the leaves.  This year the leaves came first.

your succulent looks like an Echeveria - not sure of particular species. The "white bush" looks like a Philadelphus
