Wildflower IDs please
I took the notion to take a walk along the river this evening - fully intent on taking many pictures. I'm a city girl and my knowledge of wildflowers is totally shocking!
I barely got 100 yds and the battery on the camera died!!
Anyway 2 ids please.

top one looks like Stachys palustris [marsh woundwort], but with out looking at all the leaves could be one of several others.
the bottom one is def a vetch possibly tufted vetch

Sbg, reckon that's spot on. Tufted vetch has very fine leaflets. The woundwort is paler than the others, and the tiny leaf we can just see is of the right proportions

I do like the British natives or wildflowers and have done since I was extremely small [3 +]. It was partly the reason I became a botanist. I still take my guide with me when I go out.

Thanks all, I did think the top one was some sort of Lamium, on checking, it does belong to the Lamiaceae family. I'm getting better ;)

It never stops. A bottomless/endless journey. That's the wonder of it.
