here's a better pic of no:3
It would help to know how tall the first plant is but it looks like Marsh Mallow, which grows to about 6ft.
I'm 5'6 and it's taller than me, grows by the river.
In that case I am sure it is Marsh Mallow.
Just googled marsh mallow and that looks like it, Thanks Alan
Hi pugslovesun. I think the blue flower is an Echium - probably E.vulgaris. Bees love it but the hairs on the stems can irritate some people's skins
the one that's all leaves is ragwort
In the sticks near Peterborough
the bright pink one looks like another in the Mallow family. Is it in a garden or growing wild?

it's in the wild!
Could do with a better look at the leaves but Malva moschata, Musk Mallow is likely
