I have had some plants spring up in the garden in the last couple of weeks, and I am not sure what they are. The previous owner did not leave the garden looking great, so am not sure if she planted anything.

Any help gratefully recieved, before I dig them up!!!

Can't place the top one I've seen it before but ....

Bottom pic looks like a weed we get, I bet they are all connected under the soil via runners.

Second one deffinately a weed

The first 'Lords and Ladies' maybe but definately a cultivated plant can't think of the real name but I'd keep it.

top one looks like Lilly of the Valley but i could be wrong:)
I thought the bottom one looks like a weed too..can't remember the name but has a pink flower i think.

Top one is definitely not lily of the valley as I've eradicted a considerable amount of it recently. The flowering bit resembles Arum Italicum but I don't think that's it. Must wait until it flowers as I'm sure it's a flowering plant rather than a flowering weed.

I'm with Richy on the second one one, don't know what the weed is called, but don't think it's willow herb, the first one my money is on a scilla species/variety, which are flowering now, come in white, pink and all shades of blue.
