HELP!!! Assistance identifying plants please

hI EVERYONE, WE ARE NEW HERE, AND INFACT NEW TO HAVING OUR OWN FABULOUS GARDEN. i'VE GOT THREE THINGS I'D LIKE SOME HELP IDENTIFYING, THE FIRST IN PARTICULAR IS REALLY BUGGING ME, THE OTHER TWO I HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT.

HERE GOES...

1.



2. POSSIBLY LADIES MANTLE, NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS LIKE THOUGH?


3. POSSIBLY SOME KIND OF GERANIUM? THIS IS IN CARPETS ALL OVER THE PLACE!


MANY MANY THANKS EVERYONE - I'M KEEPING EVERYTHING CROSSED THAT YOU CAN HELP ME!

 

Well like you the first one has stumped me, although your second "ideas" are spot on ladys mantle (alchemilla mollis) and a Geranium of some kind =]

**EDIT**
I thought astilbe but I've never really looked at one close up =p

 

Could the first one possibly be an ash (or a few of them) sapling??

Actually-just spotted the flower heads-scratch that one then.

 

I thought perhaps it could be an astilbe, but when I studied photos of astilbe the leaves didn't seem quite right, but I guess there are variations?

I'll try and take a more clse up pic. It's really stumped me - can't find an exact match anywhere.:skp:

 

I can't see the first one very well but it could be Aruncus.
I agree about the others.

 

I think the first one is Astilbe, the others Lady's Mantle and Geranium as has been said already....
