    Hi there,

    Does anyone know what plants these are? The first plant has seeded itself all over the garden.

    I suspect the second one is a weed.

    Happy gardening :-)

      Seems right although the shepherds purse leaves appear the right shape but not sure about the growth style. I'm not particularly good at these so best to see what @Silver surfer and others say. :)

        It might be chamerion angustifolium, but I.D's are hit and miss with me on photos!
        I think I stand by the capsella bursa-pastoris though, but if I'm wrong it means I've been misidentifying this particular plant for a long, long time. Also, after 37 years of marriage and having two daughters, being wrong has been a regular
        occurrence....apparently:sad:

          1.Your pics are really excellent and show so many clues.
          But I am struggling.
          Please would you be so kind as to wait till the flower buds open and add clear pics to this thread.
          Thanks.

                    Thanks you everyone!
                    Sounds like a great plant for bees/pollinators. It's seeded all over the place, but I can keep it under control.
