Two more for identification, please

I assume this first one is Red Dead-nettle.



I've no idea what this second one is - the formation of the leaves seems quite distinctive though. I looked at different types of mustard/cabbages but couldn't see one with leaves that matched.

Thanks for your help.

Chronic guesser, me. Sweet Woodruffe.

My guess agrees with your guess.

1. Yep, Red Dead-nettle (Lamium purpureum)
2. Woodruff (Galium odoratum)

Thanks very much for all your replies.

The Woodruff or Sweet Woodruff is a new one for me, though I happened to see it in two or three places on my walk today. The first time (when I took the photo) was in Wendover Woods, Bucks.

I think a syrup of Sweet Woodruff is what Berliners put in their wheat beer as "Grünem Schuss"!
