3 to ID please

The first photo shows something that is popping up everywhere and hard to pull out. I thought it was a proper garden plant last year but I think it could be a wild flower now.

These are in clumps everywhere, are they crocosmia? Does it spread like mad, I can't think the previous owner planted that much of it.

This has a deep dark reddy stem and is now developing little flowers.

 

The first one had lilac/ purple flowers .

I have some day lilies too and have compared the leaves of photo 2 to those , but the leaf of photo is narrower and not as tall ( yet) it is also browning on the tips. I'll try and get a better photo.

 

1.

2. Have the leaves been there all through the winter?
I believe it is Iris foetidissima. Stinking iris.
Has lovely berries in late summer.

3. Agree with Marley Farley.
Cornus.Common name red barked dogwod.

Probably Cornus alba Sibirica.

 

I think 1 is a hardy geranium.. when we moved on here two years ago it was everywhere, and I spent ages digging up roots. Now I'm regretting getting rid of so much of it. It is a good ground cover and very pretty.

3 definitely cornus (dogwood)

 

1. Possibly Astrantia.
Ours seeds itself around.

I have googled cranesbill and you are right. It is pretty but it has spread like wildfire so a lot will have to come out.
I don't think the plant in photo two has been there all winter, but I'm not 100% sure as I have only just started work in that bit of the garden, it does have a small brown papery type bulb and like the cranesbill, they are popping up everywhere!

 

Spent all day trying to get the cranesbill out, what a nightmare! The roots are horrible.
Still a load left and I think I will be pulling it out for years to come. Not a plant I would recommend for the garden.
