Identification Area

had some all over the plots we are using at college some of them had mutated and we had white a pink flowered ones too =]

I think a lot depends on the size of your garden. I treat aquilegia as a semi-weed, simply because if I let it establish I'd have no room for anything else. The same probably applies for teasel.

A good website for general identification and especially weed ident. is Down garden services, I forget the URL though. sorry. but google it all the same.

Yep, over time they can get very large

Thanks, I do have other plants in the garden that Bees love, this one has just flowered. I will put pics up of the "Tall Yellow" plants that Bees also love when they flower.My garden is always full of Bees all through the year, from the early blossom on trees ( i think they are...

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.
