I would appreciate some second opinions on these two plants please. I have some idea as to what they might be but would like other peoples thoughts.

Both where photographed at Warley Place, Essex which is a long abandoned garden where many unusual plant species have survived.

I won't say what I think they are yet so that I don't influence your thoughts.

Thanks for any help

Number 1 looks like Meadow Buttercup Ranunculus acris

Number 2 I'm not at all sure about but my first thought was a fumitory of some description, either Fumaria or Corydalis sp.

Hi Aaron

My first thoughts were: Aconitum species and Corydalis species but the second isn't quite right for Corydalis I don't think, so.....

All the best

I'll go for Delphinium for the first one, not sure on the second.

1) I'll have to agree with an aconitum. maybe monkshood

2) ooh! challenging looks like a fumaria sp. to me

I've got that 2nd one in my garden too - I've always thought it to be a weed and keep pulling it up but it keeps coming back - I've no idea what it is so shall follow this with interest

Thanks for all the suggestions, I guess I had better say what my thought's are.

1. I think is an Aconitum - A. lycoctonum (Wolf's-bane) is recorded for the site, but I'm not sure that the leaves are the right shape for that.
2. I think may be Narrow-leaved Bittercress (Cardamine impatiens) - a plant which I would know at once in flower/fruit but am not to sure about in leaf.

Does anyone agree/disagree with these thoughts?
