I bought a container of wild flower seeds from Morrisons one year, they did them in all blue flowers or all pink.  I think they cost £3.99 but it might have been 'buy one get one free'.  Not sure if they still do them, but other shops will.  I scattered the whole lot of a spare bed on my allotment and they looked beautiful.  Nick (my friend) kept moaning that I was growing weeds and wasting good space for vegetables but it was my first year on the allotment and told him I liked it.  I am now just keeping one bed for flowers, rosemary, bay tree, lavender, oregano and assorted plants from the garden that have got too big and I can't bear to throw away.  I also scatter flower seeds around the fruit trees.
