Plant / Weed ID?

Hi everyone,

I'm fairly sure all of these are weeds but I quite like the look of the first and third plants so thought I would consult the oracle that is the Gardener's World forum before I pull them out. As ever, any help greatly appreciated 😊

    1) is larkspur (Delphinium consolida) I think, a definite keeper. 2) is a horsetail (Equisetum) and a horrible weed which needs removing and the last one is Red campion (Silene dioica), a lovely wild flower.



    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Thanks @BobTheGardener. We get the horsetails all over the rear garden and try as I may I can't iradicate them as they don't my seem to have roots and just return as nauseum.

    I'll keep the other two in the garden 😊
