quite a few for ID

[thebeard]

hi
theres a load of images on my PC from the summer which i still haven't ID'd. just had a look through but i'd like some opinions please!

spear thistle, cirsium vulgare???

now some umbellifers


think these may be hogweed Herecleum sphondylium


not sure on this, unfortunately didnt get any other shots, just the flowers

not sure on this at all, could be a mallow?


i think this could be in the cabbage family, but again, didnt really get any leaf shots, just these flowers with no stamens, just that green stigma in the middle



last one isnt a flower as such, but i see it quite a lot and don't really know what it is, took this photo as the colours are great! any ideas?


cheers for any input

My guesses:
Spear thistle likely.
First umbel Upright hedge parsley
Dwarf mallow -pale colour for common
Red leaf: Herb Robert

Yellow flower may be Greater Celandine.

1 Spear Thistle, Cirsium vulgare
2 Hogweed, Heracleum sphondylium
3 A guess- Hemlock Water-dropwort, Oenanthe crocata, with tachinid fly, Tachina fera
4 Musk Mallow, Malva moschata
5 Greater Celandine, Chelidonium majus
6 Herb Robert, Geranium robertianum

regarding the umbellifers i think i'll agree with you the flowers on the latter one look right for O.crocata and the leaves and umbels look wrong for hedge parsley, so i'll stick with hogweed

thanks for everyones replies

Also Tom ,Greater Celandine is a Papaver ,not like Lesser Celandine.An I.d tip is to break the stem and you will see orangey latex.It is toxic and was used for treating warts.

To be pedantic not actually a Papaver (which is a poppy genus), but in the same family Papaveraceae.

It is a good point though Aeshna.
