441 Coarse veined leaf =Lamium (dead nettle)

Dead nettle family, but I think it's the red flowered hedge woundwort,
Stachys sylvatica, which smells something horrid when you pull it up.

Dunno the only one I am familiar with is the white one which makes a very
handsome plant with an almost impossible tap root.

White flower looks like a forget-me-not (a white one)

It's a bedstraw - if you look closely, it has 4 petals not five, and you
can see several of the characteristic whorled leaves - 1in to the L and
0,5 inches down, for example.

Yes got it know. You have good eyesight or is mine getting even worse.
I don't know what the abundant shoots which fill up most of the photo
are.

Me neither and he did not ask. I suppose Lysimachia clethroides might fit
some. I think I can see Oenothera or perhaps Hesperis matronalis.
He certianly has a goodley collection of plants

Thanks everyone !

I most certainly do have a goodley collection of plants. I have about half
an acre of garden that I am slowly taming. I bought the house last year and
everything had been left to run riot for a few years. There is also a field
next door, so lots of wild flowers and other plants had started to invade.
Everyone that comes here says that there is a very good selection of plants
in the garden - something to give colour at almost any time of year. I just
have to figure out what they all are and how best to care for them.

Anyway - those were the five plants that I knew nothig about yesterday. Now
I at least know what they are. There's more to come.....
