Hi! A few new wildflowers bloomed this week that I need help identifying. I sowed seed in april. Thanks so much in advance!!! :)

First picture I need help IDing the flower with lavender petals, yellow center

Peachy orange one looks almost like a small pumpkin flower. Has extremely soft leaves and grows big, swollen seed pod after flower dies. Could this be something other than a wildflower? This one actually began blooming last month, while the others bloomed first time this week. Flowers are small, not showy. Plant is about 18" tall, roughly. Only grew three flowers so far, has two seed pods (no fragrance on flower. Inside of seed pod smells like melon.) Two buds currently.

Interesting pink flowers with long stamens (I think thats what they are?) Thick green stem, feels woody.. No fragrance detected.

Hi Megan, if you haven't done so already, try posting this in the Name That Plant! forum. It gets a lot more traffic, and they really know their stuff there.

A really big evening primrose... I saw some on the way home along the ditches that looked really big..... The ones in my yard stay smaller... Maybe there are different varieties?? Hopefully someone will chime in that knows

Top photo is a member of the Orchid Family, Goodyera pubescens (Rattlesnake Plantain). I believe you are correct about the bottom photo, appears to be Monarda didyma (Scarlet Bee Balm) Both are showy Natives, found in many locations throughout the SE. Good photos!
