I can't/won't comment on cultivars, but here are some thoughts to get you started...
1)
Lavandula angustifolia
2)
Dianthus deltoides
3)
Campanula spp.
, possibly
C. cochleariifolia
?
4)
Cerastium tomentosum
5)
Geranium spp
.
6)
Dianthus caryophyllus

I'd agree with Lor's id on the genera; but I think the first dianthus is most likely an "Allwoodii" hybrid.
The Geranium looks like G. endressii maybe "Wargrave's Pink".
Not sure about that campanula.

David,
I can help with some in today's posting I think. Others, please correct me if I am wrong. I'm only offering genus at this point.....
69 - Acaena
70 - Scabiosa
72 - Hebe
72/73 - Hypericum, or possibly a Hibbertia?
That's some for starters anyway.

Number 70 is a Pterocephalus, probably P.perennis.

Sedum spathulifolium 'Capo Blanco'
The correct name is "Cape Blanco", after a cape on the coast of Oregon where the original plant was found.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Blanco_(Oregon
)
The late Marvin Black of Seattle first pointed out in the early 1980's that this sedum's name was consistently garbled in the trade, coming out as Capa Blanca, Casablanca, and other variations. The nurseryman who found it had ads in the earliest volumes of the AGS Bulletin, and if your set includes the advertising pages in the back, a careful search will reveal mention of Sedum 'Cape Blanco' among them. If anyone is desperate for bibliographic details, send me a private message and I'll go look the ad up and post the details as an addendum to this message.

We always have grown this purple leaved Sedum as S. spathulifolium Purpureum.
S. Cape Blanco is (here) never purplish and the shorter lived plant because flowering too rich.
We grew thousands of both forms for many years at a time that no other nursery in Holland grew them so we could make good prices.

Is there any offers on the Arabis and which of the two different hypericums is olympican? Any guess on Hebe type and what are the blue sedums? Anyone?

There is a higher chance the 'cape blanco' looking one is Sedum spathulifolium 'purpureum' as cape blanco stays blue. Thanks to the chap in Holand I checked what he said on net photos. Most of us could well be wrong! Not to worry.
