    The one with the 5 finger leaves is a weed, I don't recognise the other one

    The other 1, maybe one of the herbaceous Potentillas [ not the shrubby ones ]

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

  • Iv looked it up and I think it's a 'dovesfoot cranesbill' ?? x

    There's no Dove's foot cranesbill in that pic

    The five finger one at the front is a Potentilla, I think it's a weed type, aka creeping cinquefoil but could be a garden one.

    the flower heads and long leaved one looks like a verbena to me

    Oh good call Sanjy. You might be right. We need a 50p piece for scale. image

    We've got the little potentilla for scale.

    I think Sanjy's right
