Help Needed With Flower Identification

Hello Everyone!

I am very new to gardening and the like.
I basically have got into it through having a passion for taking photos of various flowers that grab my attention and to this end I really need some help identifying the flowers that I have photographed!

There are quite a few, so I will only do a few at a time. The first lot can be found at:-

Thanks very much for your help so quickly!

Thanks :D I use a Canon EOS 20D. It's a great camera & produces nice images - my flower ones come out well & are a big reason for my enjoying flowers and plants. :lol:

I presume that the Daffodil image is a standard Daffodil, not a Narcissius?

Anyone know what the flowers are for:

The Daff is a Narcissus. I shoot with the 20D as well...I just got the Canon 100mm macro lens - WOW it's a super fast lens.....

This shot of inside a Snowdrop was hand held....

I know your plants from S.Africa, but the name escapes me.....I see them all the time in flower arrangements....
