Depends on what you had. They will be one of
a. Annuals. (e.g. poppy, marigold, corncockle) These flower and produce seeds in the same year, drop their seeds, then hopefully these germinate the following year and it starts over again.
b. Biennials (e.g. foxgloves, evening primrose). These germinate and grow the first year, then flower the second and produce seed, drop them etc. So you should have small seedlings of foxgloves growing from last year in the areas you had them, this year.
c. Perennials. (e.g. daisies, lady's smock, white clover) Once these have germinated (which can take a while) they keep returning year after year, until they get too old.
If you're trying to create a wildflower area, it's not as simple as putting some seeds in and leaving them to it as they can easily be swamped by other more vigorous plants and grasses. It does take careful management, but well worth the effort.
