    As an optimistic, yet foolish, gardener I cast some seeds last year in eternal hope. Of course, I've forgotten what they were because I didn't think any would really take. But, these have taken rather well:

    For some reason, I think they may be old fashioned wallflowers?

    Thank you for any help.

    Second ID help needed.

    In the same area as above, this fellow grew. But, last Autumn, I pulled up/off most of the greenery. It's come back and has a very thick root/base:

    This is another one, but still with all its leaves:

    Unlike the first post in this thread, I think this one is a weed of some kind?

      @"M" First photo looks like Sweet Williams to me.

      Second post could be Common Mallow (Malva sylvestris). It is a weed but does produce quite attractive pale pink flowers later in the summer.

        Hi " M ",

        The first pic look like Sweet Williams ( Dianthus Barbatus ). You sow them one year and they flower second year onwards.

        The second one looks like Malva, some people call it a weed but if you've got a spare bit of ground it is a pretty plant.
