Picture no 2 with the white flowers is a shepherd's purse (long heart shaped seed pods) which is a weed. Sorry, not too familiar with wild flowers myself so I can't identify the others.

Thanks Jeanied - the chickens will feast on (quite a lot of) that later!

The pink one looks a bit like Ragged Robin and the blue one could be Flax.
Really need to see each flower with its leaf to be sure.
Not certain what plant is what in the first set of photos. The main thing is - if you like it, keep it, whatever it is

1 & 2 Shepherds purse
3 & 4 Blue one campular nasturtium cosmos
5 virginia stock
6 willow herb and forget me not
7 flax
8 cornflower and shepherds purse.

The blue-dark purple one is bell shaped and has leaves like a foxglove furry and thick, only one lone flower on it.
The pink one which sort of looks like a stock or ragged robin is not as ragged as it looks in the photo, it got a bit wind battered before I had time to take a photo of it.
The pale blue one is so very pretty - my photos are rubbish!

The dark blue one in photos 3 & 4 I think are clustered bellflower

they are notoriously difficult to grow, not least because they're often weeded out before they're positively ID'd.

It never really works to just throw seed down: it's much better to sow them into modules and plant them out. Saves time & frustration in the long run

This site may help you ancee, it has thumbnail pics of masses of wildflowers which you can compare to yours, as you can see them more clearly than we can.

I can see flax, love-in-a-mist, nasturtium, bellflower, shepherds purse, the pink one may be campion, and the bluey-grey strappy leaves may be cornflower.

Two sheds - you are right! I haven't really weeded as i'm not sure what I have and haven't planted

Mothhawk thank you - I'll have a look

Mothhawk!!! I've been on it for ages and am completely hooked! I can see myself whiling away the hours on this website!.....
