Are These

Hi,

Could someone advise on what is a weed in this flowerbed, please? It's very overrun in a property that I have recently purchased.

Thanks in advance.

The plants primarily to the right with the orange and yellow flowers are nasturtiums. Winter will kill those off, but they might come up next year from seeds. Not weeds unless you don’t want them there. 

You’ve got a fox glove with the purple flower bottom left. 

The other plants on the left are a bit too blurred for me to see properly

In addition to what Elsien says, it looks like lavender near wall at the back

I'd say it's obviously an overgrown rockery, the nasturtiums & foxgloves are annual / bi-annual so will die anyway after setting seeds

I'd oik the lot out and start over, what you have is not expensive or hard to replace

The one with flat, round leaves is nasturtiums. It’s an annual, probably self seeded. The one with clover-like leaves looks like oxalis, or wood-sorrel

I use Google Gemini to identify any plants and shrubs etc. Just take a close up photo of the flower or leaves and simply ask "what is this plant/shrub/tree"

I'd agree with Farway, the lavender would take an age to restore. 
Looks like an ornamental grass near the top and the same goes. 

You could save seeds from the nasturtiums if you wanted and replant where you wish or just remove and buy a packet for under a pound.
The foxglove is wild but I love them for height and the bees 

Looks like seedums at the front of the picture. Not much use where they are.

Quite a few dandelions, try and get deep and get the whole root out.

It was probably planted nicely but it's too far gone.
Dig it out, turn the soil and leave it to rest through the winter. By then you will have decided if you want to replant there or not.
I'd save the stones to decorate a bed or round a pond. It's the sort of thing you can't find or cost a lot to buy if you find you need them.

Yes, if building a rock garden, it's best if the position looks appropriate within the setting. Up against a modern brick wall was never going to look appropriate!

The standard advice with a new garden is to wait a bit to see what's there, so I wouldn't do anything drastic, especially digging - there might be spring bulbs waiting to come up, for example.

I would just cut back all the dead bits, including the thing at the back which (pace Farway!) looks to me more like a forget-me-not gone to seed than a lavender? I can't zoom in far enough to be sure, but if the former it should have leaves like the fresher specimen just beyond the rock at the extreme left-hand end of the bed (between a large dandelion and some grass) - if so, hoick it out as it will die once seeds have matured and been shed (so you might want to leave it a little before doing that). If it's a lavender it will have narrow scented leaves, and seems to have plenty of green below the flower stalks, so looks fairly healthy to me... You could dig out the dandelions, but the flowers are good for bees in early spring, and you can just cut back the untidy leaves after flowering to expose more interesting things. Not sure what 2P has against the sedums!  The only other thing I'd do is pull out any of the grass which is encroaching around the bed, especially at the left-hand end; unless you really want to dig out the whole thing and start again!
