      The first one is Love in a mist or to be posh Nigella. The second one is a variety of Aquilegia or Colombine. They will both self seed if you leave them alone.

        I think the first two are cornflower and the second lot are aquilegia
        it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

              NIgella makes round balloon-like pods, that dry out and rattle with seeds - bit like poppies, I think!

                  When I increased the first photos I would say that roitelet is correct Nigella

                    Wait until the seed pod is dry and then shake out the seed. You will have to watch them daily at the end or the seeds will be shaken out by the wind.
