Unfortunate weed or happy accident..?

Good morning GW.

Still finding my feet as a gardener, and I've got a few 'weeds' which I think could be happy accidents!  Before I cut back my overgrown jungle of a Garden last year, there were a number of desirable wildflowers and native perennials in amongst the mess.

Any help identifying any of these three gratefully received..image

    1) looks like a carrot - maybe from birdseed. It could be one of a few other things but is definitely not a weed so would leave it.

    2) is a poppy.

    3) don't know but is another 'not a weed'!

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

    1 & 2 are poppies, 3 & 4 looks like an Astilbe but i'm not certain image

    Don't think the first one is a poppy, but I don't know what it is

    2nd one is a poppy

    3rd one is a astilbe, don't know which one.

    I would of said the last one looks like an Astilbe too. I love them.

    Thank you all.

    The astilbe rings a bell now. And I thought the second was a poppy, but didn't want to commit to a guess and then be wildly wrong... annoyingly I've already pulled a few out
