Default Andrey's dwarf flowers

When I was picking my varieties this February to grow, I found some flower seed that Andrey sent me some time ago-I dont know when. The label says dwarf Russian flowers or something like that. So I put some in 2 containers, along with some Alyssum seed and here is a photo of the alyssum and Andrey's seed-you can see his flowers are purple-since I took the photo, some pink and blue flowers have opened. They are real interesting and dwarf.

The flowers in the center look like Bachelor Buttons (aka Cornflowers). Nice.

No idea what they are, since I dont grow flowers usually-and the envelope didnt have any identifying information that I remember. They are nice.

They look a lot like carnations or pinks to me, mainly because of the leaf and bud form, the flowerpetals also have the same form as some pinks with ragged edges.
