    Does anyone know what this flower is, there are a few bunches of them in the area I randomly sowed unused and 'mixed' seeds in, they almost looks like small poppies & have quite distinctive buds, also are they Annual or Perennial?

    Also I have a few clumps of these large daisy like flowers & I'd like to know whether they'll make a reappearance next year or I'll have to sow again? [​IMG]

    Top one is a Godetia grandiflora, half hardy annual.
    Other could be Shasta Daisy, but would need to see the leaves.

    Yep, the second, Daisy like flower is the Shaista Daisy, or Leucanthemum. Don't know which variety however.
