Pic.3 is Scrophularia nodosa (Figwort) .
Pic.1 looks like Lavatera trimestris (Annual Mallow).
Not quite sure on Pic.2 ; maybe the enlightened will help .
1) is musk mallow (Malva moschata)
I love no.1. It cuts well too. Thought it might Ben a mallow as I have a perennial lavertera it looks like. By the way, how do I pronounce 'lavetera'?
LAH-VAH-TERA .
I think it's "lava teera
"
Is the yellow a heliopsis?
I suppose the plant behind the yellow flower is not the same plant? Could the yellow daisy be
Sphagneticola trilobata?
No. 2 is Corn Marigold.
Hard to be certain but No. 3 looks more like Scrophularia auriculata (Water Figwort).
When the Figwort (pic 3) has finished flowering it may be worth cutting the seed heads off. It's a mysterious looking plant and quite sinister to some but pretty harmless and has been used for a long time in herbal medicine.
In gardens though it can be a nuisance if the seeds are left to disperse... trust me on this!
N°2 Glebionis segetum (L.)
