| | | Four for ID please guys!
Hello,
Elle and I went on a walk to one of my favourite reserves on Sunday and we saw lots, inlcluding these flowers. I've no clue where to start so I thought to utilise the WAB pro's     
All four were growing in the fens. Peaty soil etc,
All comments and suggestions welcome and appreciated,
Nick  |

3. looks like Common Valerian, Valeriana officinalis
More details on the St. Johns-wort would help - do you know what the stem was like (square / rounded / ridged etc)? |

Hypericum looks a lot like Hypericum androsaemum, but the leaves look wrong.
No sorry - the flowers are wrong too - off to get my eyes checked  |
