I would appreciate help with the ID of the following flowers. The first two were taken on the South Downs whilst the third was in mixed woodland.


Many Thanks

The third one is Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata) - foodplant of the Orange Tip butterfly.

Not sure about the first two - middle one possibly some sort of knapweed? Botany IS my weak point which I need to work on this year :smoke:
 
1 Marjoram, Origanum vulgare
2 is a knapweed. Shame you didn't show the leaves. Maybe the rayed form of Black Knapweed or Greater Knapweed, both of which grow on the downs.
3 as said Garlic Mustard-also used by Green-veined White as well as Orange Tip.
