Hello there,

I am hoping that some of you lovely people will be able to help me to identify the plants/weeds in these pictures. They are starting to become very common in my garden!

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

    The top may be one of the willow herbs

    The second is Geranium lucidum

    Thank you very much for your quick response, Nutcutlet.

    I take it I should continue with my ongoing campaign of removing as much of the Geranium Lucidum as I can?

    Yes Mike and certainly before the seeds set as, like most geraniums, they produce spring-loaded seed pods so get everywhere!

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Rather nice little thing though. Especially when it colours up at the end of it's lifeimage

    Thanks again Nutcutlet and Bob - very amateur gardener here (with 2 young kids - so no time) and feel a bit out of my depth!

    Just 'Googled' willow herbs too (not great!) so will continue with my campaign to eliminate both of my photographed interlopers.
