    Hi again, just as the title says a couple more unidentified plants. Again, many thanks in advance.
    The second one is growing quite profusely. looks like it's spreading by roots when I thin it out. Looks very pretty though.

    It’s a hardy geranium Mr. Bump :)
    Could be sanguineum Striatum ...I don’t currently grow it but it looks familiar :)
    You can control its spread by using a spade or simply divide it regularly ......when flowering eases off do it then and replant ASAP:)

        Yep, certainly a hardy geranium. But not a sanguineum, leaves are the wrong shape.

          @Mr.Bump It could be Geranium oxonianum Wargrave pink or...
          Geranium maculatum which is a wild form that does grow profusely and get quite a hold if not careful..... Is it in your garden, a container or seen out and about.? There is loads of it around the new development in our village as it is favoured by builders on new developments.. It fills spaces quickly..! ;)
