Three more plants to identify
I have three more plants that I need to identify - until more start to flower that is. I'm hoping for some help.
The first is like a really tall buttercup. Is it a buttercup and is it a weed? I do quite like it but its very tall and pops up all over the garden . Its flowers open in the morning and close up by the end of the day. Its over a metre tall and the yellow flowers are quite delicate and lots of them.
The second is this huge plant that looks like some kind of enormous rhubarb except the leaves are not the same . It just grew from nothing in the spring and so far no flowers. Is that a weed or a plant? I'm thinking a plant as there is nothing like it anywhere else in the garden. It's in a shady spot near a fountain.
Third one is taking over a whole border and I don't know if its a plant or weed. It's not flowering yet, not even sure it will but its just swamping out the whole border and pushing out other plants. Any advice on how to deal with this would be appreciated.

The flowers are usually blue but sometimes pink and they stand upright even in bad weather.
I like them and let them grow if they're in the right place but they do self seed all over the place.
