    In between places I've sown or planted I'm getting some cute flowers or plants popping up. Any help would be welcome to tell me what bonuses I've got!

    It's the pink one on the first, then the orange flower, then 3rd is white, then a pink/ white one that I just can't get the blooms in focus.

    thanks
    Gavin.

        Thanks to you both.

        I'm not sure No.4 can be a forget-me-not as it is pink and white. I'll try to get a better photo.
