I think the pink job is valerian - also known in my garden as the pink thug! It appeared a couple of years ago - looked pretty and made a place for itself. Then last summer it survived the rains and multiplied out of hand. I have seen white and dark red forms of it and its getting around in Northamptonshire at speed!

And yes that's Love-in-a-Mist - self set and seem to be happily mutating colours, shapes and sizes. Have loads of seedings visible so should be pretty this year.

Valerian has it's uses Ann - happy in the most unexpected places, seen it happily growing out of brick walls and between the smallest cracks of paving. When it gets out of hand, just be firm and rip it out before it sets seed; but it can help tie plants together, and if it all gets too much - brew up with it for restful sleep :-)))
