    Hi everyone, I'm new here and this is my first post.

    I bought a couple of flowers/plants from the garden centre last year and now they're doing really well and look great, but I have no idea what they're called.

    Could anybody shed some light please?

    Thanking you lots in advance

    I'm not sure what they're called but I use a great app called Picture This, which identifies plants. Worth a try

        Very close, but on mine the flowers aren't raised at all, they have always stayed on the surface.

        That said, the second one you suggested looks nice so I may well get some.

        Regarding the silver one, not even the app could tell me that one.

        The yellow one looks like Sagina subalata, a yellow form of common Pearlwort.

              My eyesight is not what it was. I came back for another look and changed my mind to Sagina as well, but was beaten to the post. Not always easy to id from images unless the flowers, leaves and growth habit are very clearly shown.

                The silver one is Calocephalus brownii, the second looks like a sangina.
