Nos 5, 6, 7 'pink mess', 'pink flowers' 'pink mess 2' have me stumped.
The flowers look superficially like Viscaria but the leaves are wrong -
the leaves look like geranium or (or astrantia). But the presence of one
of these leaves in 'pink mess 2' makes it look as if the leaves in no 6
belong to 'pink mess'.

No 8 'pink and white' is again pink flowered, and looks like Verbena.
But this does not tie up with the OPs comment "the 8th did have a few
pink flowers on till i lopped them all off." So did that comment refer
not to no 8 but to no 6? And does no 6 not belong to no 5 and no 7?

There's nothing here that looks remotely like Primula vulgaris. What I'm
seeing as no 8 doesn't look at all like a geranium (though no 6 does).
And the one that looks like a Verbena is no 8 not no 7.


Yes I think cambsgirl's last few pics ended up out of the order she was
expecting, which is why I referred to 'pink and white' (ie the last one on
the page) as Verbena rather than give it a number.

Looking at the 'pink mess' ones again, the flowers remind me of some kind
of Oxalis, altho the stems are a bit straggly. Could that be a possibility?
There is a blurry leaf to the top left in one pic that could be a tattered
'four leaved clover' type to go with it.
