Hi. This selection all seem different than the ones I asked about last year.

So here goes. I have numbered them from 1-6.

Anyone know what they are? Apart from the white blossoming bush they are in an area which I have tried and failed to get some kind of wild meadow going since 2021.
I have a feeling I am not going to like the answers :neutral:






Thanks.

    I think number 5 might be a Pieris.

    I think 1. is a little beech seedling, and 4. looks like the leaves of horse chestnut.
    I agree that 5. is a pieris.

    Could 5 be a cornflower?

    Well, 1 and 4 will have to be pulled. . . (I guess kids do not play conkers these days - must seem archaic and weird to even suggest that).

    Will hold fire on the others for now . . .

    6 could do with moving if possible. Just wondering if it will die off (assuming I do not want it to).

    I go with Dove.  The two she doesn't name, I could not identfy either at this stage of growth.

    2 looks like a young Nigella (love-in-the-mist) but there are other things that have similar feathery foliage. Maybe wait and see with that one.

    That is the favourite. 2 weeks further on it is starting to show yellow buds.
