    Hi all,
    Can anyone identify these 2 please?
    One is a pink flower that comes back every year, and seems to be spreading in various places.
    The other, I’m not sure if it’s a weed? But it’s very tall and has appeared on the driveway for the first time.
    Thanks.

    First photo is an Erigeron, not a weed but can be a bit invasive.

    The 2nd is a type of hogweed I think, be very careful when pulling it out and wear gloves, the sap can cause skin burns/irritation. It's definitely a weed and very common round here.

              Agree - Erigeron and Hogweed.
              The latter is fine if you have a wilder area and don't need to get it out, but if you do - take care for the reasons given.
