    Hi again,
    I've done some homework, tried to ID the plants. So far, you people here have always been helpful and I believe this time it won't be any different;)

    1) Achillea millefolium
    2) Geranium phaeum
    3) Melittis melissophyllum
    4) Some sort of Euphorbia?
    5) ??? (all I know is it smells quite unpleasant)
    6) ???

    thanks!!!

    Hi Lettuce .5. Looks like Geranium robertianum. Common name Herb Robert. It has a horrid pong, once you smell it you won't forget it .

    ok, thanks, I'll look into details regarding 1 and 6. The rest fits, except Euphorbia on photo 4. Hopefully, someone will determine the species.

    4. Euphorbia are difficult without a good close up of the flower.It looks a bit like our E.amygdaloides robbiae.

    if I'm not mistaken, E.amygdaloides and my unidentified Euphorbia have different leaf shape?

    No, surely not E. amygdaloides... it looks very different. I think this looks like E. esula...
