Which ones you not sure about mate? I see petunias, pansies, dahlias ,sunflowers, chrysanthemums, daisies and carnations. Pretty typical mix.

Centaurea cyanus or corn flower that one brother. They come in other colours as well. I love the blue variety. Love Blue flowers i do, one the most uncommon flower colour is blue. Quite a few of them belong to the Asteraceae family, one of my favourite families due to their unusual evolution. The sun flower be a good example for explanation. Take a loupe brother and you will see that the round centre piece is actually where your flowers are, usually hundreds of em. In this type of flower inflorescence they are called disc flowers. Now pluck a petal and put it under your loupe, you will see its not actually a petal at all but in fact a flower. These flowers are called ray flowers. you should be able to see a pistil but no stamens as these are remnants of a bygone evolution for asteraceae. Reproduction only happens in the disc flowers.

Thanks hobbit , I’ll have to take pics of the others as they pop out as I haven’t a clue on most . Also I did notice that they looked like a bunch of little flowers around the edge now that I have a loop I’m gonna be looking at all kinds of plant life now

lol cool mate, never walk the garden with out your lighter and loupe bro. Asteraceae is one of if not the most common family of plants on the planet , very interesting genus.
