Hi all,
Saw these two growing in the garden, The first is growing from the grass The second from a plant bed. Just wondering what they are and if there safe, Thanks.



This below has tiny White flowers with a smaill stalk type thing next to them.


Ignore the broad leaves in this photo infront of the white flowers, Thanks.

I also think bittercress for the middle one but the first one is too small for me and the third one, if we are to ignore the broad leaves (which look like one of the willowherb types' leaves) then I don't know what those white flowers are

Hi, the first one is a grass not a flower or weed. Usually found in damp places or woods.
