The first on is a kind of euphorbia. its hard to tell from the photo how big it is but if its a small one it's a weed which readily seeds everywhere. When you break a stem of any of the euphorbia family be careful not to get the milky sap in your eyes - best to keep it off your skin altogether.
Even weeds are plants though!

The second are antirrhinums, or snap dragons. Usually grown as annuals but sometimes come again the next year after a mild winter. In a mild climate they also self seed sometimes.

Thanks Steragram i found them in amongst the rubble! don't know how they got there but plucked them out & potted them up!

I was just about to warn about Euphorbia sap when I saw you already had Steragram as I find my hands/skin can itch for days if I so much as pull up a small 2"weed of it.

Some people are sadly more reactive than others. I haven't had any problems with the small ones. The bigger ones don't get the chance!

isn't the first one called mad womans milk? and yes the sap isn't friendly.

Interestingly the sap of euphorbias doesn't bother Bulba or myself.

There was no need to pot up the snapdragon - just plant it out where you want it. As I said,they don't always survive the winter but it may seed itself anyway.

That's an unattruactive name isn't it Catty?

yes, yes it is! that's what i have always known them as, thanks to my nan, i think it sums up the sap though!

Yes it's a Euphorbia the weed version we call Spurge not sure if that's right for the cultivated variety.

it looks like the annual I was told it was called sun-spurge when I was little.

Thanks everyone

sorry name for mad womans milk is Euphorbia helioscopia.
