She had planted wild flower seed last year but I think she’s right in thinking these aren’t wild flowers… any ideas? Thank you!

    @Hostafan1 thanks! All of them? The fuller orange, and more Daisy like orange, and pale yellow? 😀

    Yes, Calendula or pot marigolds. Very easy to grow hardy annuals and they seed themselves. Edible too.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Yes we also sowed "wildflower" mix last year and marigolds came up and only this year we have had what we would call wildflowers. It does say on the pack that the seeds maybe different to the photo!
