picture no 3 looks like an ornamental cannabis.

Don't dahlia leaves have a distinctive smell when you crush them?

The leaves don't look right for either Dahlia or Cosmos to me.  No idea what it is though, sorry.

The flowers look very similar to the coreopsis i have in the garden, but the leaves are not serrated on it. They are usually yellow, but there are other colours.

Leaves look very different to the 2 lots of cosmos i have in the garden too.

Beam me up Scottie, but I think pictures 1 and 2 are similar (and cosmos), whereas pictures 3 and 4 are completely different, and dunno.

They are all of the same plant, it's a plant that i got from a school fair,it seems to spread by runners if that's any help.

The flowers look like cosmos but the leaves do look extemely like cannabis. The only reason I say that is because I once had some earings like cannabis leaves
When I get old I don't want people thinking

The flowers do look like cosmos all right, but some oriental Anemones have similar flowers too. Its the leaves I cant place.....apart from cannabis 8)

Tricky, as cosmos and dahlias are very closely related. I keep changing my mind but on the basis of petal number...simple cosmos flowers seem to have 8, I'm going to go for Dahlia.

I agree. Of all the plants it isn't, that's most certainly one of them.
