One probable weed, one possible keeper

Morning all. Could the assembled Brains Trust help identify 2 plants please. I am pretty sure that the first is a weed, but I would appreciate confirmation before I dig it out.
The second is a survivor at the back of an overgrown border. I know there were some campanulas in there (seemingly long lost). Could this be one of them?
Thanks

The first one looks like a wild geum. It has small yellow flowers.
The second one looks like an eryngium, sea holly to me, but I'm not sure which one.
Agree on !.
2 looks like Helleborus argutifolius [ aka H. corsicus ]
When you don't even know who's in the team

Thanks Gardenmaiden, punkdoc, nutcutlet.
I assume that the Hellebore argutifolius is a seedling (although I have never grown it here). It may have come under the fence from neighbours garden. Am I right in thinking that it will not come true, and if so, is it likely to be worth keeping?
It's a lovely plant and a species so will come true. There may be some cultivars but the species is fine as it is.
