First one's a cowslip, Primula officinalis.

Thanks bamboo! will add that one :-)

Third one looks like a Guzmania...a tropical bromeliad and related to the pineapple.

The first one, Cowslip (or maybe Oxlip, more likely for a bought plant) must have been there last year, Leighleigh, unless it has been planted since. A nicely established plant like that is a few years old.

So we have #1 and #3

Leighleigh, where did you get #2 from? did you dig it up or grow it?

1 is a cowslip 2 looks like a persicaria of some sort and I would plant that outside. 3 no idea.

Well done everyone! so far so good! Bulbaholic-i must have just not noticed it last year, must have been there when i moved in, i planted snap dragons just behind that last year, are they annuals though as theres no sign this year of them?
Andyj-yes! just googled guzmania and good job as ive been caring all wrong for it, you have to water down the centre of the flower! and i also read about its off-shoots and when i looked i discovered it had one! so will cut that off and grow another! ooh its exciting! Sea.b.g + pimpernel- i had a feeling i was guna end up growin sum weeds lol, yes they grew out of the propagator so is it possible they got in the seed packet by accident? oh well, im going to keep them theyre still my babies! :-)

there are wild persicaria's as well as cultivated ones. This does look like a wild one but it can still be a pretty plant so why not try it outside and see what you think. as to your snapdragons, they are in fact perennials but usually grown as summer bedding [annuals] I leave mine to self seed then move them around where i want them. if there are no signs by now then you have lost them I am afraid.

aww well i suppose thats the way it goes, yes definately guna keep the weeds will report back when theyre settled! :-)
