Help with I.D please

[wildherbalian85]

I think this might be camomile but im not sure...





a strange kind of grass fo I.D please



Not very good pictures im sorry but i didn't have zoom camera and it was also breezy but this grass had little red/ pink flowers.





And then there was this plant which smelt just like a kitchen herb but i cant think which one - might be basil?? Anyway it was growing quite commonly were the ground had been disturbed last year and this winter.

I am sure Yarrow would have been used as a herb in the past. I have seen a number of cultivars which once we had growing in a garden I worked as Head Gardener in Warwickshire a few years ago.

Yarrow has medicinal uses, but its not a 'kitchen' herb.

It was used a lot for staunching wounds/cuts.
