Hiya Everyone
I wonder if you could help me ID these two flowers please?
They are paintings taken from photos. The white one was from a bunch of supermarket flower so unfortunately I don't know anything about it.

The yellow/orange one was found in a park border in august last year. The flower is about 2 inches wide, the plant was no more than a foot tall
(but i suppose it could have been a youngster) the leaves were blade shaped and came to point, maybe about 3-4 inches long.
I cant remember if they were serated sorry.
Thank you very much

Second one is definately a Calendula officinalis - pot marigold - the one you show is a cultivar but not sure which one. Sorry

first one - looks like a chrysatheum - if its from a bouquet it could be almost any kind of daisy type thing - dalia, chrysantheum or something similar. the only thing to say for it for sure as its a 'Compositae' ie member of the daisy family.

If you wanted to label it I guess you could call it Compositae sp

maybe others know them more, sorry !

The first one is a dahlia, I think. Here's something similar:

Any ideas what the 'dead' plant is?

Looks like sage - the herb - but would need a closer look at the plant - or go out and give it a rub - if it smells like sage (think sage and onion stuffing) then it probably is x

cut hard back it might re grow if you are lucky or leave it a couple weeks and see if any of the leaves are up again
