Can anyone help me identify these three plants? Found in the wilder part of my garden but not certain what they are. Thanks!

    @WildFlower_UK Does 2 have a foxy smell? Phuopsis? Or could be Sweet Woodruff 
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    Number 2 could be goose grass, also known as cleavers or sticky weed (and "bollock weed" in this house on account of the seeds). If it has a rectangular stem and sticks to you it is probably this plant.

    Number 1 might be fat hen.

    No 4 is toadflax. Bees love it's little flowers, you can plant it anywhere - if you want to keep it, it will spread but it's easy to uproot.

    @Slow-worm there isn't a No 4!

    No 2 I'm thinking is goose grass.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
