What are these flowers?
The pink flowers in the foreground are possibly Nicotiana which is a variation of nightshade (sp. atropa belladonna) and they are indeginous to North and South America. So basically they are wildflowers.
Yet, they do look a lot like Columbines...there are several species, so it's hard to tell...
The white flowers are either ox-eye daisies or Alaskan daisies...I'm thinking oxeye daisies. Chrysanthemum leucanthemum is the sp. name. Daisies can grow up to about 3 feet in height.
They both can be found growing wild.
(This is NOT googled, thank you. i'm a horticulture major at NC State Universtiy and happen to know at least 150 species common names and sci. names and awesome random facts)
Reply:Lady in a bathtub and marigolds.
Reply:They are columbines, a member of the buttercup family. The most familiar ones are blue, but there are pink and red ones, also.
Reply:Daisys, Salvia, and lavender.I can't see the pink very well,sorry. Who's Burrow? What a little doll !
Reply:The white ones appear to be some variety of daisy. The pink ones look like Columbine....
Reply:Ladies slippers?
Reply:The white ones are daisies/Shasta or asters, the blue ones are some kind of Salvia, the others (Violette-white) are called columbines and the grey one is surely called donkeydonk .
Reply:Columbine (pink/white)
Shasta Daisy (white/yellow)
Lavender (purple)
Salvia (red)
Reply:The pink ones on the left are columbines and the white ones are Shasta daisies.
Reply:Definitely--- the pink and white ones are Columbine which are identified by the leaves. Have lots of volunteer Columbine plants scattered around my gardens.
Reply:Not the best picture in the world (besides the azz)..but here's my best attempt:
This appears to be late spring (June)..
Center: Leucanthemum vulgare - Oxeye Daisy
Bottom Left: Aquilegia hybrid- Columbine (not sure on the cultivar)
Upper Left: Tanacetum parthenium - Feverfew (not 100% on this one)
Middle left (Plant with round seed heads): Celandine species? It's very hard to tell.
Bottom middle: Either Saliva nemorosa or Veronica spicata (very hard to tell without seeing the leaves)
Middle right: Nicotiana x sanderae (??) once again very hard to tell. I'm not confident with this answer because all of the plants in the picture are perennials (well, where I live) except for the (possible) Nicotiana.\
I can't identify the fine textured plant in the middle right.
Hope this helps
PS This wasn't googled...it appears other were (after reading them) and some are definitely incorrect. I forget to mention that some of these plants are classified as invasive so you may want to research them a bit before planting - I assume this is your intention. Good luck.

Update: I'm still not convinced that the purple inflorescences are of a Lavandula spp. Mainly because of the timing of the other flowers (again, I'd put it in early, early June (depending on the location) and from my experience growing lavender/lavandin both commercially and leisurely, they typically bloom later in the month of June. Pluussss I rarely see lavender/lavandin in such a perfect cluster (well, unless you're in Martha's garden), this is more typical of Salvia/Veronica. Regarding the assertions of the white flower being labeled a "Shasta" daisy, I'm still not convinced mainly because of the short length of the rays. I've grown many different cultivars of Leucanthemum over the years and Becky, Alaska, and other "Shasta's" typically have longer and broader rays than the Oxeye Daisy. It's hard to know without seeing the leaves. But..I digress..many of you may be right because it's hard to judge scale in this photograph and after all, it's a designed flower garden. Truthfully I'm too lazy to go upstairs and get out books that discuss exact bloom times in my area to indepthly analyze this..ah anyway..I'm going off my head and educated guesses.
Reply:I don't know, but they're pretty!
Reply:maybe Columbine, i can't really see it sorry
