This plant (links below) seem to be growing everywhere and I was wondering
what it is. I think they are weeds but need to be sure before I dig'em
out. In saying that however some of the pink flowers do look nice.

A weed is a just plant in the wrong place. If you like the flowers and
you're happy with where they are then whatever they are they're not a
weed.


Quite so. They are London Pride. Most people don't consider them a weed.
Mostly because they're not as rampant as some. You can pull out the excess
you don't want, leave a few in, and they will build up again, but fairly
gradually. They're also very easy to transplant, just bung in the ones
you've pulled out from elsewhere and they'll fill up some space while you
wait for other things to bulk up. We have them in our garden and they're not
a problem.
