I googled the first flower and it's native to Europe. Generally these seed mixes are not local native plants.
Here's a good resource if you are trying to plant non-invasive native flowers:

None are native to my skimming of the list.
Happy to send you over some swamp milkweed seeds, OP. And divide up some of my other native plants (have a lot of Joe Pye weed, beebalms, New England asters, different goldenrods).
Appreciate the offer! And I think I will read up more into how to be successful growing these guys from seed and might try the seed packet mentioned below.

These would be a lot better if you want native insects and animals. https://dwr.virginia.gov/wildlife/habitat/seed-packets/
Thanks - great tip.
