I have let a patch run wild and some of the prettiest wild flowers have appeared, can anyone help me identify them?

The yellow ones are Calendula (marigold). Sorry can't help with the others but they are very pretty!

I don't think they are wildflowers.

They do look like a pretty seed mix. Agree the yellow ones are marigolds, look like Calendula Officinalis, the purple ones bottom right look as if they may be Lobelia and the pretty pink ones are cultivated as well, I'm sure.

Wild are what you see in the hedgerows, cow parsley, poppies, daisies, yellow "daisies" dandelions, purple loosestrife, foxgloves etc.

The bright blue in the middle is a cornflower. Bright blue at the bottom are lobelia.

Yes the lobelia I planted- not the others- it's the pink ones in particulat I was curious about- they look very scraggy, cool green stalks and leaves- I would have pulled them as weeds long ago, but now they have flowered.

It might be Corncockle

The pink looks like linum (flax) of some sort. Very pretty, but as others have said, not wild. All garden flowers. Calendula will self seed so if you’ve planted them in previous years, they’ll be popping back up. You must have excellent soil, if I left a patch to go wild, I’d just have a load of willowherb Sad

Pink looks like could be a campion
