Im in deep waters now, so I know some of these identifications might now be correct.

Two species in one hand. Big ones looks like F. officinalis, and since it is few-flowered I guess: ssp. wirtgenii.

Same species.

fumaria is problematic, and without careful measurements of flower, seeds (and even with these) it is impossible to identify exactly. i'm also having trouble with mine!

Yeah, not easy at all.

I hope for a passing-by Fumaria wizard, then.

F. parviflora OK
F. officinalis s.l. OK
The F. muralis (pic 1) impossible to tell

The others are likely not F. muralis, since this should have a short raceme. I think they correspond to F. bastardii, though as my co-partner said, you need to see the complete picture including sepals, and fruit.
