We have some Sunday Garden surprises, I have been waiting for my Cottage Garden seed mix, they have took there time blooming. I don't whether I have planted these to late or they are late bloomers, next year I will plant these seeds a little earlier hoping I get blooms a lot earlier. I am getting surprises most days now.
This is the Cottage Garden mix I used. I chose these because they attract butterflies, I haven't seen any yet but have seen lots of bees.
My surprises today are beautiful but don't know what the flowers are called, I know there will be people on here who will come to my aid. These are so pretty, could imagine my garden filled with these.
These are just starting to show there face, I am loving the pink colour, can't wait to see it fully bloomed. I hope all these buds start to open soon.
Another one just starting to bloom is a gorgeous purple, it looks silky, can't wait to meet this gorgeous flower.
The last one is a gorgeous Lilac colour, I love this little flower its very pretty.
I am hoping I can buy these flowers by themselves, I would love to fill a few pots with just these flowers, I think the colours would look lovely together and brighten up my garden.
Thank you @son-of-satire
Thank you @artedellavita
I can't say if I have ever seen these particular flowers before, but they are gorgeous. Would those seeds grow in the tropics?

I would imagine they would, they need the sun and we don't get that much :)

Good idea on figuring out what each flower is in the mix! It looks like you're going to get a lot of 'bang for your buck' on which ones do well in this setting. Great head start on planning next year!

It looks to me like your first flower is some sort of Phacelia, maybe Phacelia tanacetifolia, also known as the Lacy Phacelia or purple tansy -- even though it's not a real tansy. It's a great plant for bees!
The second plant looks like a Pink Borage. How nice! Most borage will self-sow and come back on its own every year, if it has room. The leaf in your 3rd photo looks like a Hollyhock of some sort. It will be exciting to see what the flower looks like when it opens! And the last photo is the Bachelor Buttons, or Cornflower, again. They are such nice meadow plants!
That's a nice collection of meadow plants you've got going now! Happy gardening! :D
