A couple of plants for ID

[davidbr]

I'm in need of some help & advice on these two, please



This Pilosella had virtually covered a lawn and was growing out of the tops of nearby brick walls, too. Apparently there are three species that occur as introductions; Spreading Mouse-ear Hawkweed (Pilosella flagellaris), Yellow Fox-and-cubs (Pilosella caespitosa) & Tall Mouse-ear Hawkweed (Pilosella praealta), but I can't find any decent pictures of any of them. Any ideas?



This toadflax/antirrhinum-type plant was growing out of a village stone wall; presumably a garden escape, but I can't find anything that fits the bill

I can't help on the daisy but the toadflax thing looks like a Nemesia sp. possibly fruticosa

The Pilosella looks just like P. officinarum to me. All the species you mention have more than one flowerhead per stem.

I agree about the Nemesia

Thanks, KT - after a search online I've managed to ID it as Nemesia denticulata; it doesn't seem to have an accepted common name, and also apparently isn't fully hardy so must have self-seeded onto this village wall as a casual

That's a shame, but thanks anyway

I had no idea P. officinarum could spread like that - it's covered an area of probably twenty square yards, completely out-competing the grass

I introduced it to the garden of my previous house because I thought it would look pretty...
