Can anyone identify these please

I don't know whether these are weeds or not

The first one looks like toadflax and the second yarrow. Both are lovely wildflowers are brilliant for pollinators.

Yes, the first one looks like purple toadflax. It is really pretty, we have loads of it in our garden and the bees love it. The other one, not sure.

Thank you, as long as they flower , I'll keep them.

Linaria purpurea, purple toadflax. An introduction, but now so widely escaped that I don’t think anyone actually grows it, it just arrives. Comes in pink too.

Achillea millefolia, yarrow, wild flower, broad flowerheads of tiny white flowers. Garden varieties with yellow, orange and pink flowers exist

Thank you for the info, I've just got plants appearing from nowhere and I'm worried they're weeds and will take over if I don't keep on top of them
One more that's springing up -

Don't let the toadflax set seed.

The third pic look like plantain.

You also have Asian poppy.

I'd get rid of all them TBH

Right, thank you, I'll dig them up. I so want lovely borders , this side of the garden is so dry due to next door's trees, I get excited when I see something growing, only to find out it's a weed and will take over everything.

Achillea is lovely, I’ve just bought three from crocus to put in a difficult border….

@Mangotime I've just bought these

The third pic is ribwort plantain, but the greyish seedlings are poppies, and the one in the top right is Californian poppy, Eschscholtzia - a lovely word to spell with its two “sch”

Take out the plantain for sure, leave the poppies, the yarrow is good for later in the season flowers but will spread, toadflax is pretty - google it before you get rid.

Don't get rid of them all! The ligularia is a lovely plant, it will seed itself around if it's happy but it's easy enough to pull out any unwanted "volunteers", same for the achillea. It's only the plantain that you need to dig out. And poppies are beautiful!

Thanks all , I've pulled out all the plantain , left the poppies and yarrow. It's such a difficult place to get anything to grow there. I'm going to dig in some compost, hopefully that will help.

If it’s a dry area watering then applying organic mulch to top layer will help to keep in moisture, after planting.

Apart from the plantain, I’d leave them all. I have ligularia grown in the bamboo planters. It’s lovely to see the purple flowers amongst the green.

Siberian yarrow is stunning BTW
