The flowers don't seem to be growing like wild carrot...

I think the first one is speedwell ziggy & the fourth one looks like annual or maybe dog's mercury, not sure of the others though although they look familiar.

I figured out that the second one is yellow rattle! Still baffled at the others...

And now I think number 5 is common mallow. So number 3 is the big mystery. It has flowers coming. They are large and lool like they might be pink.

I have a couple more for you: Is this another type of hypericum? It pops up all over the place in our garden and acts pretty much like a weed... Hypericum androsaemum (Tutsan). It seeds all over the place but is not unattractive.

Ok, so no particular smell when leaves are crushed. Smells just grasslike to me... stems are often smooth but sometimes have baby fuzzy hairs. No purple blotches but purple stripes at times and purple bases on stems... I'm no wiser. I looked for that tell tale middle purple flower but I don't think the flower heads are developed enough yet. The lack of spots on the stem and lack of unpleasant smell when you crush a leaf suggests Cow Parsley. Hemlock leaves are very finely divided and not as downy too.
