What is this bush/tree/plant?

Callie - I think Sanguisorba officinalis (Great Burnet)

Mainly I've based that on leaf shape and my impression of plant size. My Keeble Martin has it flowering rather later in the year, but definitely damp meadows.

But Salad burnet flowers a month earlier and prefers dry pastures / embankments
 
At least in the rosacea there aren't going to be any poisonous species.
The gardeners at work got into herbs and bees recently.
I can't say the salad variety inspired me to seek it out again.....
 
Excellent! Thanks both. What about this one? In a mown grass area in a park, has made big patches go a rusty red colour, little bobbly red plant?

And a bonus egg?!

I'm a bit wary of plants containing a lot of oxalic acid.
A shame as they're often easy to grow.
Sounds like it may be OK on moderation though ...
 
I have more! Looks like a forget me not but is tiny. And hairy.

Hmm I don't know if this is good or not after hearing others comment that they are rampant and take over a bit. I think I've spotted another plant...15889272492177195067731699991803.jpg

Oh maybe not. That's longer leaved, less hairy and clumpy?
 
What's this then? I'm no good with shrubby things.

I recognize two classes of umbellifers: cow-parsley and not-cow-parsley. I was told that you can tell cow parsley from the central flowers being more concentrated than the outer ones but from the below I'm not sure even that is true:

Cow parsley has large, flat umbrellas of small, white flowers, and large, fern-like leaves. When crushed between the fingers, the leaves produce a strong, aniseed-like scent. One of several common members of the carrot family, this is the most abundant, and the earliest-flowering of the umbellifers.

The umbrella-like clusters of white, frothy flowers of cow parsley are a familiar sight along roadsides, hedgerows and woodland edges.

You may want to share my classification with them :)

Someone uploaded a chart there of stem profiles, but I can't find it now ...
I'm a long way off from identifying umbellifers - a bit like with the fungi groups, i casually glance at the posts in the hope that something gets absorbed ...
