    I noted some very ‘lonely’ plants on all walk on footpaths around my home in Kent UK and thought them interesting. Please could someone identify.
    In order of photos:
    1) Yellow flowered plant
    2) Big green plant -with seed pods that adhere to your clothing and the plant always manages to grow on a path or nearby where humans and their dogs pass by.
    3) I think this is a Plantain - but not sure.
    4) Purple flower - this was growing in the middle of a field where horses graze - but appeared to not eaten by them.
    5) Thistle of some kind I imagine.
    In a field of sheep but ignored by them.
    6) Dandelion? - but very tall?
