What are these?

Hi

Can someone please identify these:

Seed pods are the size of a plum



Another dried flower







Many thanks

Hard to tell from a pic but the second looks like a love-in-a-mist seed pod and the third could be goats' rue?

[Herbie]

The first one looks like teasel.

[Flummery]

Agreed. I thought from the pic it had a division along the side but on closer looking, it doesn't. Teasel it is then!

[jackmoulder]

I have a better pic of the seed pod. The seeds are about 2mm in diameter, dark grey and are disc shaped.

[Flummery]

Oh, it DOES have a division. Doesn't look like teasel then. Hmm - off for another think.

Could it be Riccinus (Castor oil plant) ?

No 3 looks like a vetch of some sort (like a wild pea)

No 4 looks like Rosebay willowherb

Hi

The first picture looks like thornapple (Datura stramonium). See link Datura stramonium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Best to remove.

I second this, looks like a thornapple to me.

I also think the second pic looks like nigella (love in a mist) but difficult to tell without seeing the leaves, are they kind of feathery/ wispy?
The third one a vetch or wild pea.
The fourth -some kind of weed! Could be rose bay willow, but hard to tell without seeing flowers.

Thanks everyone,

Spot on! I'll go and throw the seeds from no.1 away now I was trying to propagate them

I'm not too sure about the leaves from 2, I'll try and get any seeds from it and see.

As for 4, I believe it is the above, the leaves are the right shape. It's also everywhere. Not quite as bad as the couch grass though.

3 does look similiar to a vetch, so I won't bother to protect it when I nuke the back garden with glyphosate!

many thanks
