Can you help me to identify these plants please. All found growing in the wild - some along the sandy common next to the beach. 5 & 6 are the same plant, 3 & 4 may be the same plant with a small, slim seed pod. The leaves of the little daisy type flower in No. 1 are very spidery, they aren't the longer narrow leaves shown but the tiny spidery ones which are fairly well hidden. Thank you.

2 is a hypericum. Is it shrubby or like a hardy perennial?
1 is probably one of the Mayweeds. Is there any scent to the leaves?
should be able to ID three but nothing
No idea re 4

The foliage on the third/fourth plant looks like rocket, but the flowers look different.
The last one looks like one of those fleshy little alpine or 'cress' type plants - an Arabis or something similar
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Yes no. 1 is a daisy of sorts aym, but not the type that grow in the lawn or garden aym and I don't know if the leaves have a scent. The hypericum was growing in a garden hedge - so I am not sure if it is shrubby or a perennial, nut. Yes Fairy the last plant 5 & 6 are quite fleshy almost succulent.
Is the first one quite small GD? It has a look of feverfew about it, although the leaves don't like that. It's proper name is Tanacetum so perhaps you might find something more like it under that name.
There are so many 'daisy' flowers though, and they may also grow in a slightly different way in your neck of the woods!

1 is Scented Mayweed, Matricaria chamomilla, or Scentless Mayweed, Tripleurospermum inodorum. the two look much the same.

Thank you nutcutlet, Fairy and aym. There is such a huge variety of plants out there, and I realize that some of these are quite obscure and perhaps you have never seen them before so thanks for your input. I think you may be right with Mayweed nut, I have now googled it and think the leaves (spidery) are most similar, however the height is bothering me - they don't normally grow very tall. We do have Feverfew growing on the common too, so at first I thought you were right Fairy. I have looked in my Channel Island Wild Flower book but there is no mention of this plant in there.
