    #1 - Ranunculus illyricus.
    #2 - Cardamine sp., perhaps C. bulbifer.
    #3 - A yellow-flowered Asteraceae . . . there's hundreds of them. I think not a Senecio, as the lower leaves are broad, and not lobed. Possibly a species of Inula, Pulicaria, or Doronicum.
    #4 - Agree, Lathyrus vernus.
    #5 - Agree, Alliaria petiolata.
    #6 - Cardamine sp.

    [sigh] haven't been successful regarding the third one. with so many yellow Asteraceae.....

    if someone has any ideas.. please!

    if you haven't yet, it might help to notice:
    - bottom leaves are ovate and stalked
    - upper leaves lanceolate and sessile
    - margins toothed
    - grows near water (few times I found them IN water)

    You might compare to Senecio.
