i agree with spiritofold, the first couple look like primrose, and the last one looks like burdock. almost definately more than one species in those photo's.

cheers

It may be Comfrey. I really dont think it is burdock, the `burs` at the top are just as easy wilted flowers and most likely to be so owing to it being only a single stem.
due to it also VERY likely being foxglove, don't eat it!!!! Not that you said anything about eating it, but I feel the need to preach that anyway
:soapbox:

Need better pix of the last one really. I still think the first two are primrose, you can see where snails have had a feast. I dont think snails eat digitalis.

If the snail did eat the foxglove, with its increased heartrate, would it be a much speedier snail!!!! :D
