the top ones look like Red Campion
the bottom, something more fragile, delphinium maybe?
In the sticks near Peterborough
Not sure but the leaves on the bottom one look a bit "geranium" like ???
The leaves do a bit but I didn't think the stems and the way of growth looked right

Yes, you're right about the stems not being right for a geranium nut.
I've never had success with delphs, so can't compare.
I mainly only "know" what I grow when it comes to ID's
Looks like the first leaves of my delphinium too - beware of the slugs
Thank you so much for your responses. Are we saying the bottom one is potentially delphinium or the top two (which may even be the same plant?).
I did sow delphiniums last year, I just can't remember where! I've never done geraniums so that rules that out!
Thanks again
Could the top two pics be Echinacea?
Good point, I did sow some seeds. Thank you, I won't dig them up!
bottom one looks like my delphiniums (the only ones I actually managed to grow from seed) the top two couldn't be campanula could they?
Last one is definitely delphinium. I no longer grow them because they get ravaged by slugs, but the foliage is quite distinctive
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
