First and last are fritillaries (snakes head). Lovely wee spring flowers.
#2 looks like a magnolia flower. Was it on a shrub?
Lovely contrast on #1 between the purple flower and OOF green background
Tim
Some of my vaguely better stuff

Thanks both .. And thanks for the specimen ID Tim .... The pink one was shot from just above my head height, so I'm fairly sure it was on a sizable tree. ..... ?

Hi Nigel.
Nice work.
Especially for you I've posted a shot of some Snakes Head Fritillaries, today.
Best regards

Cannizaro used to be one of my old stomping grounds for images when we lived in Morden! Never saw the fritillaries though!
Where I have seen them I have never got a shot I am really happy with.
You've isolated your two nicely and captured a depth to their colour and texture.
