Hi please can somebody name these little plants that I have grown from seed taken from my Dads garden earlier this summer, they looked so small and dainty so I took a couple of seed heads and they grew very quickly- within a month they had begun blooming and I now have loads of them!

    Look a bit like a pertunia. They're very pretty flowers.

    or penstamon maybe

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    I'm not 100% sure, but could be a Torenia?

    I had the same flower in my garden this year, except I didn't plant or so the seeds! I think I had this plant a couple of years ago, let it self seed and even though they didn't flower last year, I must have disturbed some dormant seeds and the plant flowered beautifully this year!

    It is a mimulus (monkey flower),  I have a few in my gardening, beginning to flower.
