Couple of ID's Please

Hi all
Managed to get out for a couple of hours of tiding and have a couple of plants that I don’t know what to do with!
Number 1 is sprouting up in loads of places, do I keep it or bin it??

Number 2 I was going to pull this one up but then it sprung into flower a few days later, so I assume it’s a keeper??

I turned round for a minute and found this nestling in my daffs


Thank you

Matt

 

1.Linaria - a bit weedy but pretty enough, I'd keep those that are not in the way
2.Anemone blanda, well worth keeping
3.Primrose -dig out if they take over.
4.Dinner.

 

Hi thanks for quick reply.. love learning the names to all these my little dog thought Christmas had come early when he spotted the pheasant

 

2. With the ruff of leaves round the stem I think this is Anemone De Caen. ..rather than Anemone blanda.

1. Try snapping a branch.
If it has white milky type sap it is Euphorbia.
Be careful sap is toxic.

think if its Euphorbia it will have to go - know my luck I'll end up killing myself

the Anemone De Caen is lovely

 

I think the visitor is a partridge?

 

I thought it was a female pheasant, it stayed for ages hiding in the wild geraniums before making a run for it

 

I think it's a female pheasant too.
