Three more for ID pleas

1. Wild Mustard, possibly

2. Possibly a Euphorbia, perhaps Cypress Spurge ??? Not even sure if its a wildflower or a garden escapee, though it was some distance from any gardens.

3. No idea - I'm intrigued as to what this odd combination of leaves will develop into.

All three were in or around old chalk quarries, if that helps.

Thanks very much,

Pete

Can't see enough detail of the crucifer to ID it for certain; perhaps Charlock or White Mustard with spreading sepals; leaves seem to resemble latter.
2 Cypress Spurge, Euphorbia cyparissias. Not native, but escapes + can form small colonies- it does run (have 2 forms in my garden)
3 Sycamore seedling

Does this shot help? It shows a bit more of the leaves.

Considering I can look over my right shoulder and see the Sycamore tree in the front garden, I guess I should have recognised the saplings!

I'm going to swing the other way now + looks more like Charlock which is a far more common plant anyway!
