Afternoon..
Can anyone put a name to the following for me, which I am struggling to pin down. Pictures taken yesterday afternoon alongside/nearby B6540 Castle Donington to Long Eaton road, a mixture of brownfield, roadside, waterside habitats.
Apologies in advance for poor quality photos, it were a bit windy and the plants wouldn't sit still. 
1. Is this fennel? 
2. No idea 
3. No idea 
4. No idea 
5. No idea 
6. No idea 
7. Looks like minature snap-dragons? 
Any help appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

Unmistakable aniseed smell. |

Unmistakable aniseed smell. | Indeed, it was very aniseed-y. It's quite distinctive looking as well. Nice easy one for a novice like me.
Cheers for that. Best regards, Nik.
