The first one looks like Fox-and-cubs, Orange Hawkweed. It's a wildflower. You can actually buy them in garden centres. Some people might consider it a 'weed'. I have some in my own garden. It does actually grow quite well in grass.
The second one does look somewhat mallow-like (hollyhocks are big mallows, though it's not a hollyhock flower). But it's a bit early for mallows to be flowering.
the second one looks likre a mallow to me as well - maybe the weather has fooled it
I also have the fox and cubs on my allotment it does attract bees and other insects

The other looks like common mallow which flowers from june to september.
Yes common mallow is no 2. Looks just like the ones growing down the footpath near me. You can see that hollyhocks come from the same family, but much bigger flowers.
