I agree, wonderful colour combo!

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 still wonder if its an orange californian poppy?

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?

No, you were on the money with oriental poppy, growing right next to it!I believe in a varied border!!:)
