Any ideas about either of these two plants?

I'm trying to figure out what the central, fairly large-leaved plant is. My
guess is some sort of Apiaceae. It was growing in Denmark, I believe ner
Arhus. Picture taken about 4 weeks or so ago.

Perhaps Heracleum sphondylium (hogweed) with Anthriscus sylvestris (cow
parsley) behind. (Both apiaceous)

This was growing in southern Germany, not too far from Zurish. The pic was
taken in the last couple of weeks. (Block is the size of a typical patio
block.)

And that looks like Buddleia davidii (butterfly bush).
