Hard to tell what they are.
No 3 MIGHT be mesembryanthemum ?

No. 3 might be Zinnia, not sure they're mesembryanthemum (Livingstone Daisy). I think the only thing you can do is prick them out and see what they are - they'll be more recognisable (hopefully) as they grow on. Possible that No. 2 is Cerastium tomentosum - did they say it was a lucky dip of annual seedlings, or perennial?

definitely not livingstone daisies but i got my delivery today and they were begonias which was written on label on box beside my address so have a look at box just in case

Thank you guys.
Helen I received one lot of begonias they were the only ones I recognized lol
Bamboo not sure but almost certain they are all annuals.
Guess it's a case of wait and see :)

No 3 could be Gazania too, mine looks similar......

just potted mine on and to be truthful I am not convinced that they are begonias lol

I'm pretty sure that #3 is Gazania, but the others are a mystery to me.

I grew Gazanias last year and all the long leaves had notches near the end - these don't.

My Gazania "Bicton orange" doesn't have any notches Beattie, but it was just a thought anyway.....

Ok, I hadn't grown them before (not enough sun til we moved). Maybe it was just my variety.
