All of these pics were taken on Carnmoney Hill, Newtownabbey, N.Ireland. Pics 1 and 2 were taken in September 2008 and the 3rd was taken in August 2007. IDs anyone?

Thanks, John.

amphibious bistort, (I think! - could be redshank, can't remember if amphibious bistort has dark patches on the leaves or not)
common fleabane - I love this flower it's like a child's drawing of a flower.

not sure about the 3rd!

1) Redshank (Ampibious Bistort doesn't have the black spots on the leaves which are present on Redshank

2) Common Fleabane
3) Red Bartsia

actually having got to the office and got me book out, it turns out that amphibious bistort can have the dark blotches though I think its referring to the terrestrial form. and having another look at the pic, I think I have decided on redshank like KT anyway as it looks smaller in jizz than the amphibious relative.

Oh and of course red bartsia!!! I flippen KNEW that!! Curses!!!
