They're primroses or cowslips (Primula veris)
They're called primevères or coucou in French.

The purple one is salsify, it's the same as the plant that is grown for its edible root and often goes "wild".

Can't help with the leaves of the top of my head unless it's a mullein.

I think that the salsify is smack on Chris, but the other one was completly flat on the open ground and the mullein is quite tall. We will have to make the same walk in a few daze (?) to se if it streching skywards?

Thanks for the salsify Chris. There is loads of it around here and it seems to be very good for the herbalist.

I don't know T2. It is completely flat with the ground and completely symetrical. A very impresive lookng small plant.

We will have to keep an eye on it?

Edit:- Looing at a coupe of sites it looks a bit too symetrical with those prickly spots on the leaves so possibly not a teasel??
