Hello,
Please help me identify these plants. I had a mixed seed packet that they could have come from or they might just be weeds (don't mind if they're pretty weeds - just want to know what they are!)

Look like weeds to me. I wouldn't give any the benefit of the doubt - you could be overrun in no time.

'Flowers growing in the wrong place'? Ha! I've got couch grass,ground elder and bindweed coming under the fence courtesy of one neighbour and bitter cress,dandelion and willow herb courtesy who knows.
They are all dealt with severely. Whoever thought 'weedy' meant not very strong obviously didn't garden!

Thanks all.
I have pulled/dug them out of the garden but have potted an example of each out of curiosity. If they survive and amount to anything I'll update you Smile

2 is certainly not a weed, it looks familiar but i cant name it right now. Would love to know what these are.

campion but doesn't bindweed have such lovely flowers? I like 'em anyway. Can't speak for the others!

Well yes it does DustyDoorFrames. I'll admit that. I am able to admire them freely in next door's garden every year!
The cultivated version is much friendlier.

I sing the Flanders and Swann 'Honeysuckle and Bindweed' song as I napalm it!
