Unfortunate weed or happy accident..?

Good morning GW.
Still finding my feet as a gardener, and I've got a few 'weeds' which I think could be happy accidents! Before I cut back my overgrown jungle of a Garden last year, there were a number of desirable wildflowers and native perennials in amongst the mess.
Any help identifying any of these three gratefully received..

1) looks like a carrot - maybe from birdseed. It could be one of a few other things but is definitely not a weed so would leave it.
2) is a poppy.
3) don't know but is another 'not a weed'!
1 & 2 are poppies, 3 & 4 looks like an Astilbe but i'm not certain
Don't think the first one is a poppy, but I don't know what it is
2nd one is a poppy
3rd one is a astilbe, don't know which one.
I would of said the last one looks like an Astilbe too. I love them.
Thank you all.
The astilbe rings a bell now. And I thought the second was a poppy, but didn't want to commit to a guess and then be wildly wrong... annoyingly I've already pulled a few out
