Hi, these were planted for me last year along with some other plants but only these survived the winter. I'd love to know what they are so I know how to look after them. I know the green leaves behind the purple flowers are begonia leaves but I'm wondering if the trailing plant in front with the purple flowers is related to morning glory. the flowers twist close by 4pm and open up again the following morning.
Finally this one with the small pinky- red flowers is in a bed.
Thanks for looking. Sorry the photos are all over the place.

The magenta flowers are lychnis coronaria.
Ooh! Thanks for that.
The pink one is rose campion http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/plant_finder/plant_pages/7569.shtml As the link says it's a short leaved perennial or a biennial.
Yes the purple plant is related to the dreaded bindweed.
I think the yellow one could be an antirrhinum (snap dragon)
Bindweed! Surely only a distant cousin? it was deliberately planted.
Oh yes, it's only a cousin. No need to dig it up.
The small blue flower is Convovulus sabatius or blue rock bindweed but its not the terror that common bindweed is. The yellow one could be a Mimulus.
Thank you for all the responses.
