I think they are weeds and popping up everywhere in bare soil. Need to know 100% if weeds.  

TIA

    Top one nigella, I think. Bottom one  looks like a poppy, but possibly one of the hawksbeards.

    The top leaves could be nigella or an anemone and the bottom ones looks like hieracium or 'fox and cubs'

    If you let that flower bud open, if it is a hawksbeard it will look like a dandelion but without the taproot. You can easily pull them out then. (Early bees would like the pollen  though)

    Nigella makes sense they have seeded everywhere across one of my other borders!

    Thanks. I'll leave them be for now and just remove from the lawn where I had a mole hill.
