1 celery type plant - not sure though. it was growing by a river

2 i'm pretty sure that this is river water-crowfoot but it was growing in a pond...

3 weird plant - no idea

4 umbellifer - growing by a canal

5 this was taken in may on limestone in damp open woodland (fountains abbey) - my first thought was spring sandwort but now i'm not sure...could be a saxifrage possibly

Thanks everyone sorry there are so many but i'm sure you'll enjoy it!!

Firstly be VERY careful when handling celery like planst especially if they are near water or have purple blotches on the stem. Many of them have toxic sap and will blister your skin or are even very poisonous.
1) not sure
2) Yes a crowfoot but not enough here for me to give an ID I'd need the laminar or broad bladed leaves - someone more experianced may be able to do better.
3)Unfortunately beyond my level of ab ility too.
4) looks like it might be hemlock water-dropwort which is one of the poisonous ones.
5)again in the too hard file for me! Do you have any pictures of the leaves?
