I saw these flowers a couple of days ago in the Dean Garnier gardens
next to Winchester cathedral. Please can someone help me identify them
and if you can provide a url reference about them that is even better..
The first one looks a bit like Star of Bethlehem - but the front of the
petals is slightly yellow and the back tinged with pink.

The second looks a bit like the Cosmos family, but I can find a picture
of a Cosmos that looks like it.

I don't know where those capital letters "JPG" crept in so watch out if
you type it. Thanks in advance.

Copuld be one of the small tulips. Google 'Tulipa clusiana' - I don't
think it is that one, but you'll see where I'm coming from.

Could be a species Freesia, perhaps.

Pulsatilla seems likely and perhaps P. montana?

The program you use to upload photos puts them in automatically.

The first one looks a bit like an Ipheion, but the colour is unusual.
The other pic is Pulsatilla (Pasque Flower) as others have pointed out.
