Hi Guys And Girls, thanks for your help I have now been able to identify
all the 3 plants now. I know the other one is a Forget Me Not which has
spread. Just one wee quick question, what is wrong with the
bittercrest, I have had a look online but cant seem to find a problem.

If it is bittercress, those pretty white flowers rapidly turn into seedpods
which 'ping' apart at the slightest touch, scattering the seeds all over the
place. *Before you know it, you have the National Collection!

If you can get your bittercress to grow fast and lush then it is a
spicy addition to salads.

Never knew that, David. I think I'd imagine those seeds 'pinging' all over
my innards!
