Any ideas?

The first I saw growing wild - the second and third are in a garden.

Thanks in advance.

1) wallflower
2) The yellow flower and the water-lily-shaped leaves are lesser celandine, an invasive uk native, the rosettes are probably London Pride, a saxifrage which will later have pink-stalked loose spikes of small white flowers.
3) Snow-in-Summer, which will in due course have a glorious burst of being smothered in white flowers.

Much obliged for the IDs.

I must confess I thought the yellow flowers belonged to the saxifrage when I took the picture!

The Snow-in-Summer is in my parents' garden. I don't think it has ever flowered in my lifetime, but maybe it will this year.

Maybe it's not Snow-in-summer - looking again it could almost be rockrose, but the quantity of dead leaves is rather large for rockrose. Either way, it's not looking overly happy! If it were mine, I'd try for a start getting rid of some of the soil underneath it and putting in some better soil.

I think your London Pride ID is a sedum.

London pride is Saxifraga × urbium
http://www.english-country-garden.co...ndon-pride.htm

You mean one of those rather flat leaved ones? Not fleshy enough for the stone-crop type of sedum.

But the leaf shape and venation is very similar to other non-fleshy saxifrages, and is a good match for the leaves in the link posted by Dave Hill.

Sedum spectabile leaves grow up the stems, and have a bluish tinge. The
OP's pic shows a bright green low rosette typical of London Pride.

Definitely not. Leaves wrong colour (green rather than grey), and far too small - you have the celandine flowers for comparison. I thought you meant something like Sedum spurium, but thinking about it, the reason I'm sure it's not, is that the sedum loses its leaves at a greater rate, so it tends to have bare stems with a tuft of leaves at the end, rather than the well clothed stems of the saxifrage.
