I'm afraid you are way of course with the helleborine. The plant in the photo has flowered + is in fruit- it's a Foxglove, Digitalis purpurea! |

1. Fruiting heads of Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea)
2. I think you might be right.
3. Probably Marsh Horsetail (Equisetum palustre) |

The willowherb may be Epilobium roseum.
The petals of this sp. are 5-6 mm long, the stems are smoother lower down than at the top, likes a moist, calcarious soil.  |

The willow-herb is Short-fruited Willowherb, Epilobium obscurum.
Not E. roseum, which has a different leaf-shape and rather beautiful flowers which are white in bud and then blush rose-pink, and not E. lanceolatum, which has a cross-shaped stigma (and is very local except in the SW).
I agree with the other identifications.
