The one with the flower buds, but the one to the right of it and below would also be good to know if possible.

Looks like a dead nettle. A weed but not a particularly bad one.

TheCrenchinglyMcQuaffenBrothers · 27/06/2024 22:40

Purple dead nettle, not sure about the other one though

QueenOfHiraeth · 27/06/2024 22:41

There is a free app called PlantNet that I find helpful
Can't do it on my desktop but you could have a go with that

Dead nettle, cosmos at the bottom, not sure about the bright green one but it's not a weed

catwithflowers · 27/06/2024 22:46

Calendula for the bright green one on the right? I like dead nettle but pull it up as it spreads so rapidly in our beds.

BettySweaty · 27/06/2024 22:48

Get Google lens on it. Will tell you what it is. I've done this with some plants I've liked recently, just discovered it. It's great!

Bottom
One may be love in a mist

JaninaDuszejko · 27/06/2024 22:55

Tge bottom one looks like dill. Agree the one on the right could be calendula but I think calendula has less shiny leaves, spinach is another option.

Thanks all. They came out of a wildflower seed packet. Am hoping the Nigella and Calendula suggestions are right as I googled and both look beautiful.

All three are wild flowers.

A white flowered dead nettle has appeared in my garden this year, and it's lovely.

sprigatito · 27/06/2024 23:21

I reckon dead nettle, calendula and chamomile/mayweed

Ioverslept · 27/06/2024 23:24

Big leaf defo calendula

gardeningnovice5 · 27/06/2024 23:26

Hurrah! I wish I’d planted the seeds more carefully now as they’re possibly a bit close together.

Red dead nettle, Lamium purpureum, not dead nettle, which is a larger plant with white flowers. To the right could be pot marigold, Calendula, and below one of the mayweeds/chamomiles or one of various other things with similar leaves

How do you know it’s giving you the right answer? Recently on here we’ve seen apps unable to identify correctly a pan of sweet pea plants, and apps which have identified a tree seedling as mint.

Don't worry that's how they grow in the wild :)

No, nowhere near shiny enough, and spinach is slightly crinkly.

Mischance · 28/06/2024 08:59

I think that the shiny leaved one is wild lettuce. foragerchef.com/wild-lettuce/ - the leaves start off smooth-sided and get serrated as they get bigger. I have it in my wild flower patch.

Almost certainly Calendula then. Other could be Nigella or Cosmos. “Wildflower” seed packets do not confine themselves to UK wildflowers or even wildflowers of other countries.

Red dead nettle is a UK native.

Bottom left could be Poached Egg Plant (Limnanthes douglasii), often included in wildflower mixes.
I love them!

Yes, that’s a possibility. Another one that isnt one of our wildflowers!
