    we have an empty plot near our house and its sprouted up some beautiful flowers .. i have managed to identify some myself but need some help with this last 4 if you dont mind ? ..
    number 1 - i'm thinking some kind of poppy ? .. the petals that are hanging down were not like that before it got battered by rain .. it was like a big bowl and very poppy-like.
    number 2 - i was thinking some kind of peony, but the peony i have in my garden is like a bushyish with a few stems yet this is a single stem, quite a few leaves, approx a metre in height .. and it so does not smell like a peony, it stinks!! lol
    number 3 - i dont know about that one, it looks bushy and thats the flower on it lol
    number 4 - again a bushy plant, i did think it was morning glory but i bought a packet of seeds and the picture on the front of them doesnt match

    can anyone help at all please . i would love to get some seeds and have these in my garden :)

      I agree with Ruth, first 2 are Poppies, second 2 are true Geraniums, ie Cranesbill.:dbgrtmb:
