Hi Silver surfer that was the only pic he took sorry but if it is that they're lovely plants running wild

Thanks S yes i think your right many thanks.

I've never found them to be a problem.

As the alchemists believed that dew drops on its leaves would turn iron into gold, you can try your luck with it.

'Wet' is pretty normal for Wales. Yes, you're right about the big dome in the centre (the Great Glasshouse): Great Glasshouse | National Botanic Garden of WalesThere's a LOT to the gardens in general, always something new to discover as it covers a huge amount of land. Well worth a visit...

... and I have i t's rellie Iochroma cyanea 'Plum Paradise' ...

It`s that little division on the leaves that takes me back to the carrots, and reading back - that`s what @Silver surfer said in the first place (sorry maestro I missed it)

Well actually Pete, I had three of these things out front, and I took a spade to them to get rid. I put gloves on, but one plant was quite big and brushed on my arm.... didn`t feel anything at first and thought no more of it, but now, in spite of warm water and soap, there`s a blotchy patch...

thanks again--- this thing is fantastic, certainly fills the blue-shaped space in my garden!

Thank you I have removed it now - We planted so many plants this spring to encourage bees and butterflies that we have completely lost track of what we planted where

Thanks @Palustris it appears to be the rocket variety, one of a number of plants I rescued from a bargain corner somewhere, I work on the principal they have got half a chance to grow or not, and this one survived.

I call it Marsh grass

Thanks Silu and KFF, it seems you're both right. I've just found this.....Northern Marsh Orchid - Western Isles Wildflowers - Daisies - Flowers of The Hebrides

Thanks. I have a spot in a planter that is in the shade of my lovage that I think would do it ideally. Out of the sun and well drained. Cheers!

I think that you have hit the nail on it's head. We do have some Japanese Anemone's, now in pots but I think that I may have plonked that one in on a temporary basis and forgotten about it. I will have to dig it up and get it into a pot. I do not want a complete bed of them.Thanks for that.

Astilbes have some of the best spring foliage.....from copper to burnished red in many cases.....and are worth growing simply for that. Then the flowers, from thin spires to gradually thick feathery plumes so a long season of beauty. Never attacked by pest or disease either and gradually...

One of my wild patches. All this has been done by nature, I didn't have a hand in any of it. It seems to be doing ok without me

Thank you Father Pete That would be an eccumenical matter
