Flowerbed Improvement

The clover leaf shaped plants, with pink flowers, are Oxalis, can be invasive but is easy & trouble free, and easily oiked out if in "wrong place"
Your choice, but if it's a dry bed, surrounded by grass & paths I'd be inclined to leave it and remove any that may get in your way

Thanks, I'll keep them for now. What about around this pot?

What needs removed from the following photo?
Same question, not sure what anything below is.
Does anything need removed or trimmed below?
Should these small items below be weeded?

Top picture, looks like you have grass among the forget me nots [blue flowers] I'd dig that up, the forget me nots are annuals anyway so not much to lose.
Second picture, middle plant, with yellow flower, is a dandelion, dig it out
Middle & bottom pics, look fine, except middle pic has some grass in there, get that out, then give them a chance to grow and keep an eye on them

the new photo that shows the orange poppy - you have some nasturtium seedlings in there, to the right of the lump of grass (I would keep them)

Here it is today, I still don't think it looks right:
In what way is it not "right"?
In flower and all looks healthy. Early days yet, lots more to come , for instance I spy a nasturtium which will cover a larger area with flowers, the lavender looks about to bloom, poppies doing well.

I think the lavender looks a little out of place with everything else. I'd think about planting another one, or maybe a small rosemary bush, somewhere on the right hand side, to balance it up a bit.
