I agree, that last flower looks like a zinnia.

I'm glad to hear of all the newbie success stories. Don't doubt that you will continue to have some seeds that don't germinate. I've been at this for 4 years and have sown platycodon each year. It has never sprouted in 4 tries. I finally gave up and bought a plant at a half price sale at a local nursery a few days ago. It's getting ridiculous at this point when I've never owned the plant and don't even know if I like them! But remember, even experts who grow under lights for year are not always 100% successful either.

Here's a tip from a seasoned veteran for those having trouble with larkspur: Don't wintersow it in a jug, direct sow it NOW. If kept moist they will sprout soon in the cool fall weather, then winter over as tiny seedlings. Next year they'll be huge and beautiful

Here you can see some of my seedlings in spring, the tiny little ones on the far right. If you look closely and match by size and color, you can see them here and there, too
