  Hi @EricsGarden
  

  Pic #1 : Aquilegia growing amidst a clump of irises?

  pic #2 : Creeping buttercup, see https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=784. I would uproot it ASAP.

  I think 1. might be a Thalictrum, I often confuse them with Aquilegias.

  How can you lie there and think of England

  Quite right, @punkdoc they do look similar, especially when young.

  Excellent thank you. I found one Aquilegia with a flower, so confirmed. All the creepy buttercups have been dug up now, found about 10-12 of them.
