Can anyone help with the names of these two plants? I'm trying to help my friend identify them..

Thank you in advance!

1. She found this one in the "fairy garden" section at a local nursery. The green leaves are speckled with beautiful pink specks.

2. This was given to her when it was very tiny. When I first saw it I thought it was a weed! It's grown to about 2 feet now and has sprouted a few flowers(?).. Or what may turn into flowers. It has many more branches now. The 3rd picture shows the bloom from this plant.. The plant in question is in the orange & green pot up front.

* This is a close up of the blooms from the above plant..

Thank you again!

The larkspur I have is fernier, more deeply divided. I have never grown delphiniums though. It reminds me a lot of how my parsnips look, but I'm assuming this is a returning perennial. Looks healthy. Have fun watching it come into bloom, or whatever it will do. Let us know, if you think of it. Hepatica

Wild Blackberry (Rubus species). It'll bear fruit, but the plant is incredibly invasive and you'll likely regret it if you let it grow anywhere in your garden. This is a plant usually best left in hedgerows or designated patches of land you don't plan on using.

some Ps will knock your socks off ... across 3 acres .. others need to be about as big as your house.;. to give a very small scent ... and both can be extremely large plants ... and rather nondescript if only green ... if it has no scent.. or very little.. consider removal ... and replacing with a good one ... and buy an extra pair of socks.. lol pix of my snow velvet below ken a very young plant and just for the heck of it.. a variegated one.. that isnt as fragrant ... but it will knock your socks off for other reasons ...
