It's a weed Evette. It's easy to get rid of if you don't let it flower and seed. It's worth having a big purge against it for one year - it will save you years of work.

I would agree with Blackthorn, it does look like the cow parsley family from that angle. But each flower would need to be on a stalk coming from the same place - as in Umbellifer- see hereIt looks refined so Ammi majus springs to mind.So many garden plants are not far removed from wild...

any help?

Using the lead that woo kindly provided, a bit of googled seems to confirm it is Geum coccineum.

O.K.! Will do!!:thmb:

If you get stuck, then PM me in amonths time or so to remind me and I willcollect some seeds from mine for you. I will forget. All plants vary a little from seed, that is how genetics works.

I have never seen striped roses. I love the pin stripe and george Burns. Thank you WOO

I think you are right Bob Thank you. It has the fluffy bits.:gnthb:

:D ... I'm eating them ... I have six trusses and more on the way ... :yho:

Thanks chaps!!

Thanks Walnut, I'll be getting some seeds of this for next year!!:luv:

Thanks all. I'll rip it out tomorrow. I'm glad I don't have to risk the Round Up on it, as it is in close proximity to some of my actual chosen plants, although the Round-Up is still employed, as I still keep finding the odd bindweed coming up.It's interesting about the seeds staying viable...

Its a teasel alright, it was probably there last year as a small plant and wasn't noticed.

Yes, so it is! :dh: My goodness though, it's very similar to Viburnum isn't it? Thanks again to the great experts here. :thumb:

It's a cultivar of Geranium maculatum, possibly Geranium maculatum Beth Chatto, or G. m. Espresso.

You were probably thinking of the sub shrub Vinca Major.Pot ones come in all colours, they don't grow outside here very well as they need warm humid summers. I remember seeing large beds of them in Washington, as you would see Impatiens here.

Pictures have been removed.:hehe: What happened?

mine aren't!

Many thanks Pete, I think you're right. Just looked it up and they DO prefer Acid soils.Cheers!!xx

If it's not them Newbiegreen I'm happy for you. They used to turn up in my last garden every year in May and those catterpillar like larvae totally skeletalised everything they were on. Polygonatums were what they liked best.Maybe they're just flies, flies. One year we had a big outbreak of...
