ID help needed

[davidbr]

I'm hoping people can help me put a name to some of these that have been cluttering up my Unidentifieds folder for a while. Some are probably easier than others, whilst some might just be plain impossible... but here goes

1: A non-flowering umbellifer in a Norfolk ditch, late June



2: Taken at Hickling Broad, Norfolk, at the end of June, I can't decide if this comfrey is Tuberous (S. tuberosum) or just Common (S. officinale)



3: A mint that wasn't in flower, almost certainly a garden escape, on the shingle ridge at Snettisham, Norfolk



4: A colourful garden throw-out daisy, again on the Snettisham shingle ridge



5: A buttercup from the Suffolk Breckland



6: Is this knotgrass sp. Equal-leaved (Polygonatum arenastrum) or just the usual P. aviculare?



7: Probably the most annoying of the lot; at the time I thought this lily sp. would be easy, but two months later...

The lily is Lilium martagon. The petals reflex as the flower "matures".

id say common knotgrass for 6

[Tiggrx]

1. I think probably Fool's Water-cress (Apium nodiflorum)
2. Common Comfrey (Symphytum officinale var. ochroleucum)
3. Probably Apple-mint (Mentha x villosa)
4. Osteospermum sp.

No. 1 looks like Fool's water-cress, Apium nodiflorum

No. 3 reminds me of a mint I looked at the other day which turned out to be Spear Mint, Mentha spicata.

You don't say where you found No. 6 but if it was on the coast it is possibly Ray's Knotgrass, Polygonum oxyspermum

This is possible as it does have some very round-leaved forms
