Dog Mercury



Bit of identification help required. First two I’m guessing could be dog mercury? It’s spreading 🙈 Our garden has a track at the back and woodland beyond. I’m not 100% sure it is as the leave look broader that what I’ve found whilst searching. 3rd pic I haven’t any idea what the broad leaves are. This garden is throwing all sorts up! Although I could cry when I think about how extensive the St. John’s wort is 😢

The second one is probably Coltsfoot or Tussilago farfara. Lovely name!
Did you see see any flowers in early spring?
