    The ones in the pot are thistles so yes weeds. Can’t identify the paving one sorry

    The ones with the begonia are one of the wild milk or sow thistles. I’d get rid of them before they take over then seed everywhere. 

    The one in the paving … do you have any Ox-eye daisy or similar in the vicinity?

    I would say the ones in the pot are weeds.  The one in the crack l don't think is a weed but l'll be blowed if l can remember what it is. Someone is bound to know  :)

    The ones in the pot have been sneaky disguising themselves as little flower seedlings.

    I do have ox eye daisies which have spread themselves about everywhere @Dovefromabove but their leaves don’t the same as these one. Strange.

    I wasn’t 100% convinced I was right, but they’re very familiar … I’m sure someone else will know …

    I'd have said ox eye daisies for that 2nd pic too.  :)
    I agree re the thistles.

    I’ll pull the thistles. Tempted to put some pebble mulch on to prevent more weeds flying into it.

    ox eye - if it’s pretty it can stay - we will see.

    Pebbles won't stop fluffy seeds landing and sliding down between the pebbles ... and taking root in that sheltered spot ...  :|

    I agree. Whether it's gravel or soil - or pebbles -  seed gets in at some point, and if the spot suits....   :)

    So there’s no point top dressing begonias to keep them happy?
