A few flower ID's please.
I'd really appreciate some help to identify three flowers that came from a packet of summer annual seeds.
The first is a plant that produces several orange flowers on their own stems. The leaves are serrated and finely lobed but not as finely as a cosmos. It grows to a height of about 35-40cm and the flowers are short-lived, about a week to ten days.
If you look closely the flower has tiny flower heads at its centre so it could be a member of the sunflower tribe. I couldn't get very good pictures and I've indicated the leaves with white arrows.
The second plant also appears to be a member of the daisy family and again, possibly of the sunflower tribe as it also has tiny florets in the centre.
It's a small plant with a single flower and very distinctive, serrated, and widely lobed leaves, growing to a height of about 20cm.
Finally, another member of the daisy family similar to anthemis and chamomile plants. It's growing to a height of about 80-90cm.

Those orange flowers in the first pictures look like French marigolds, if they are, they'll have a pungent smell.
Tagattes in pic 3, 4, and 5 but I dont think he’s asking about those.
Top two looks like Cosmos Sulpher.
last one is, as you say, Anthemis tinctoria.
have to think about white ones?
The white daisy with thick leaves is probably Glebionis (formerly Chrysanthemum) carinatum.
Just an idea: could the last ones be Layia platyglossa?
Not sure about that, the leaves are different.?
The orange one looks like a double californian poppy - if it is it may self seed for next year. The paler one is an annual chrysanthemum, and the last one, I agree, Anthemis tinctoria
Are the leaves of the first one like this?
I still think it’s a cosmos
Could the second, pale flower be gazania but not sure about the leaf?
I agree with Lyn that the top 2 are Cosmos (possibly 'Bright Lights')
Could the white flower be a arctotic daisy?? Looks very like the ones I planted this year. .....they are in full bloom at the moment.
I agree with Lyn about the Cosmos. There are orangy ones that don't look like the usual pink and white ones that have leaves like that.
