So whilst visiting Manchester I was in Tescos Altrincham earlier this year and bought a small packet of seeds .....in the "for sale" bin ....one pound fifty I think.
It was labeled "meadow plants " so brought it back to Moscow and just spread it around a spare patch......
for all you uber gardeners I apologise for the simplicity of this....but my wife and my MIL have never seen any of these beautiful plants before , so if you can help us to identify them we would be very grateful

Ahh sorry , missed
this one....
It looks lovely Dachalover
the first one might be scabious and the second possibly chives but really not sure. The bit I love about wildflowers is you can collect the seeds of the ones you like and have more next year
The pale blue one (photo 4) is a flax, Linum. The last one is Crimson Clover, Trifolium incarnartum. The second photo looks more like a Candytuft but not sure. I think 3 and 5 are some kind of cornflower.
Candytuft (Iberis) looks right to me too landgirl. I also think cornflower for the other but I didn't know crimson clover. You learn something new everyday here
Lloks very pretty Dachalover

Many thanks all
Hi all
A couple more of the "magic packet" have flowered so may I please ask for your help with identification again?
1. Poppy
2. one of the mallows (Lavatera family)
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Cheers Dovefromabove, never knew poppies could be so incredibly beautiful , this sort of reminds me of bridesmaids dresses and pink champagne.....
