    First, apologies for not responding sooner to all the replies about my questions. And thanks to everyone.

    Lyn, and those who suggested the orange flower is a cosmos were spot on. It is indeed Cosmos sulphureus. Prompted by Lyn's suggestion I was reminded that I had had this in the garden a few years ago, checked my records and compared my images with those on google and that confirmed it.

    Following Dimwit's suggestion that the small white daisy with the large-lobed leaf could be Glebionis carinatum I've looked at a lot of images for those plants and the leaves are not right. However, the mention of Glebionis made me realise that once again, I had had the third flower, the taller daisy, in the garden previously and I'm almost certain it's Glebionis segetum https://tinyurl.com/yabwd6ng, commonly known as corn marigold or corn daisy.

    These flowers have the central yellow colouring that extends almost to the tips of the petals, which are white.

    So the jury's still out on the small daisy. Hopefully someone will be able to ID it.

    What about Ismelia versicolor for the small white and yellow daisy? See this link:

     Thanks, you've nailed it! Coincidentally I noticed Ismelia referenced when I was doing my searches for Glebionis and didn't look at them.
