The blue is Centaurea montana - Perennial Cornflower and the dark spiky leaves look like poppy? Dont know the flower though.

Is the orange flower Geum?

I thought it might be a Geum but my Geum Borsii has more petals

Yes thanks, the blue one is a Centaura, that does ring a bell now. The orange flower is like a rock plant with grey leaves.....anyone recognise it? I shall have to ask a question with a better photo!

I agree it's a bit poppy like BUT....I went and rooted around the plant and there was the label!
Helianthemum Fire Dragon! There mystery solved.:)

Glad you found a lable I can see it is now lol. But the long dark spiky leaves are not Helianthemum surely?
