| | | unknown umbellifer and another plant
Hello!
Both of these were found today in Cambridgeshire on the bank of ditches within arable fields.
The first was looking good for spreading hedge parsely but there was lots of it in full flower now and my books say it flowers in July!
Its a small plant all were less than 30cm tall I reckon, flowers only 2-3mm wide. Let me know what you think...
Fruit 
Flower 
stem 
leaf 
Second plant, quite a few of these, all this lovely pastel green grey with purple stem and purple leaves at the bottom. Leaves are downy, stem is not particularly. leaves are alternate and spiraling up the stem... could it be Phacelia tanacetifolia ?

The first plant looks like Bur Chervil Anthriscus caucalis |

I agree that number 1 is Bur Chervil
I think 2 is probably an Anthemis sp. - maybe Corn Chamomile (Anthemis arvensis), but would be best to check when flowering. |

Bur chervil looks good, with only two concerns, one book (poland) describes it as odourless (and its strongly sceneted especially the stems when cut). Also no mention in any book of those hairy sheathing petioles (if that's the correct term!)
The second plants also at first I thought daisy family, but it has little or no odour.... | | |
