    Any ideas what these weeds are?

    As the title says really.
    This piece of land hasn't been cultivated for some years, when it was, it must have been stunning. Anyway I have been given the job of doing something with it. I can identify most of the plants/weeds growing but not these---any ideas? there are 4 in total.

    Please ignore pics and move to next post.

    Feed the soil, not the plants.

    Never seen these up here in Yorkshire, or atleast I've never noticed them, rather nice looking for a weed though.

      Does anyone know what these weeds are?

      Does anyone know what this weed is (1)


      The stem is hard like a young tree, approx 18" high and the leaves feel like velvet(they really do).

                1 looks like a mallow

                        1. tree mallow? - not a weed, (unless you don't want it)
                        2. greater celandine - weed
                        3. I agree - wild arum - some call it a weed, I like it in the garden, but it does spread
                        4. could it be yellow loosestrife? - not a weed, as above

                          1.Is a mallow - cant tell which one ...probably tree...
                          2.Greater celandine? Use the yellow stuff in the stems to cure warts ...allegedly.
                          3.Lords and Ladies?
                          4.I have this all over the garden and i call it 'bloody thing' and pull it out before it can flower so have never identified it but i dont think its rose bay.

                            1. Mallow - looks pretty growing wild on the beach - grows quite big
                            2. Greater celandine - takes over! Stains your hands yellow if you break the stalks.
                            3. Lords & Ladies - poisonous!
                            4. Willowherb (not rosebay) - pretty flowers but invasive
                            Gardening is cheaper than therapy and you get tomatoes

                              I like it too, it stays put in my garden.
