Earier in the year I bought a seed mix from a discount store. Unfortunately it wasnt labelled as to the species that it contained. I now have a really nice area coverd in various species,tho I havent managed to identify many apart from the really obvious ones like lupins.Would be very grateful for and ID's and whether these species are true native wildflowers.

flower1

Flower3-very popular with the bees and probably the most abundant species

There are at least 4 or 5 other species that have not yet come into bloom,will upload pics of these once they flower

Fraid I don't know any of them and I don't think they are native UK wildflowers. Mind you they are also very pretty & as you say the insects are loving them so there is still lots to enjoy.
I expect someone will i'd' them for you very soon

Don't know the first two, but the third is Phacelia tanacetifolia.

First looks like a Gypsophila.

Hi widiot

Sorry I can't help with the ids, except to confirm the last one, but it looks as though you bought the exact same pack as I bought earlier in the year too!
