there are numerous weeds in the compositae family with names like cat's ear and nipplewort. The thing with the lupins is one of them, it appears in the first 2 pics.
Am I seeing the whole pic in 2, there's nothing to the right of the chrysanthemums.
just had a burst in the IQ department. If they're upside down it's to the left, it's the same weed.
Same or similar in 3
not sure which one in 4
5 is japanese anemone
6 I don't think is lily or mare's tail
Some more photos posted individually would help with anything not positively IDd Birdy.
Thank you everyone for your input. Re pink flowers in pic 5: I thought I knew that one. Isn't it pulmonaria, also called lungwort? I'm getting a lot of it and know I should be pleased with the weeds as I understand it means the ground is fertile - it certainly suits the ubiquitous forget-me-nots that have proliferated this year.
I think I shall remove the spiky plants - maybe some of the others too. I don't remember planting them, so thanks again for advice everyone.
Thankyou plant pauper for liking my garden. Last year I gave it a complete makeover, built a wiggly path through the middle and started afresh with completely cleared ground. It now looks as though everything has been there for ever.
Looks like it could be pulmonaria right enough and it would be in flower now too! Mine has spotty leaves and two tone flowers but yours might be a different sort.
You've stacks of aquilegia seedlings and a wee foxglove in there too. Great stuff!
Thanks Nutcutlet for suggestion about individual photos. I expect I will be back again in the not too distant future - this time with photos the right way up. I seem to remember they just need to be cropped to reduce their 'byte-size'.
