Some sort of mint then?

I thought someone had already suggested mint, but reading back through, nobody has. that's why I was trying other laminaceae

I've been growing this for years but I don't know of anyone else who does. I love the smell - slightly medicinal..........can be used in teas or potpourri............

The answers are:-
1. Kiwi
2. Celery - the plant that I grew from the base plate!
3. Cedronella canariensis - Balm of Gilead Cedronella canariensis Balm Of Gilead PFAF Plant Database
4. Olive
5. Aloe vera (first flower in 5 years)
6. Variegated Phormium / New Zealand Flax (first flower in 6 years)
7. Worcesterberries (top marks MH)
8. Underside of fern.

Thanks to all of you who tried

I've heard vague references to balm of Gilead, but never seen it before. Hmm.... from the Canaries - are you growing it under cover?

And New Zealand flax - a completely new plant to me. Wiki says leaves up to 3 metres long must be an enormous plant!

I shall have to go to bed now, my little grey cells are exhausted - good quiz VC!

The Balm of Gilead is outside - self seeds. I'm hoping to save some for the seedswap.
The New Zealand Flax is massive - I have 2 of them (both from Freecycle - as was the olive tree next to it in this photo).

Really? Maybe you know it as 'phormium'. The garden programmes use it a lot as a 'structural' plant. So do municipal/school plantings, because it's so tough

Nope.

Haven't watched gardening progs for several years now, though I do occasionally listen to GQT and the local radio Gardeners questions.
