    second is a bulb, possibly Fritillary meleagris

    3rd looks like chives, 

    4th is as Hostafan says, a pea, one of several thousandimage

    I agree nut, 2 a bulb and looks like snakeshead fritillary, 3 is an allium.  4 might be lupin?

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    first looks like just dead flowers when it's blown up, not sure if there are seeds in there.

    I would go with Fritillary seeds For 2.

    3  is an allium, but is it ripe enough, looks a bit fresh.

    I would be pretty sure that 4 are lupins.

    best sow them all then show us again when they have leaves.

    Bear in mind that the fourth one, be it lupin or sweet pea, is probably poisonous.  Pefectly OK to handle but wash your hands afterwards and keep away from children (which is a good general principle, I find).

    Oh, and the thing on the right is a pen image

    I haven't got a scooby's either but me thinks pic 4, can't be sweet pea as they usually has a white bit on the seeds image
