Can anyone identify these plants

[jimmypondturtle]

I live in the UK and was wondering what plants these were in their early stages of development in spring. And wondering whether they were invasive or not. If you can identify any that would be helpful.

Do you know any of these plants?
I think the second one might be one that does yellow flowers. It spreads readily, but is pretty easy to pull out, too.

I do better when they have flowers. Some of mine I can't even decide what they are until the bloom.

Some look like water blue forgetmenot. Some look like creeping jenny

If they are helping clean the pond they are worth saving for now .

I can confirm that the first is cardinal flower or at least within the same Lobelia family as I have 3 that I planted last year and all are currently at the same point of growth as yours. I was told when I got them that they can get vigorous but they are in my bog and they produce beautiful flowers for my humming birds so that is not a concern of mine.
