Just a few plants to ID please.

First one we tried the other day but I unintentionally misled you all by saying it was a bulb. It was not! Here it is naked.

1.

    1.  It's still a Dicentra - hope it's been planted back in the soil - it doesn't look very happy like that.  In future, if you're moving plants that are in active growth, dig a large lump of the surrounding soil with the roots! 

    2.  ?

    3.  Looks a bit like angelica to me.

    4. ?

    3....yes, angellica, lovage, umbellifera (?) spectrum...image

    If 1. isn't a dicentra it's an aconitum.

    2. . might be Campanula trachelium or some other campanula

    3. must be an umbellifer but not sure about angelica, I though that was shinier. 

    4 I think is some sort of spirea but they're not shrubs I know well so can't say which one

    Could 4 be a Nandina?

    4. I agree a spirea, tends to look a bit mildewy later into summer ? Mine does.

    3. I know it can't be but looks like parsnip leaves to me image

    Thanks everyone. Number 3 does not look shiny in real life.

    Dove - yes it went straight back in to the soil. Unfortunately it was not possible to move with soil attached as our soil is quite sandy and loose and it all just fell off It seems happy in its new spot and we are having great April showers tonight so hopefully it will settle in well.

    I hope number 2 is a campanula, they look nice.

    4 is Spiraea Gold Flame. I reckon.

    Devon.

    Hostafan think you've got it, sounds familiar.
