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.

Pulsatilla in the buttercup family (Rannunculaceae)

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.
