    We went hiking on Saturday and found these growing in the wild. Any idea what they are?

    Are these elongated pink-purplish flowers bleeding hearts?

    I can't be certain about the top ones, but they look like buttercups, Ranunculus something. Our wild one is called R. acris. The bottom ones are some kind of Dicentra, we call them small hearts. The bleeding hearts are D. spectabilis.

    I have to say, I agree completely with Droopy. The first defo look like buttercups which spread quite happily far and wide on my allotment. And the second is some sort of dicentra.
