    Welcome to Gardeners Corner.

    5 looks like Oxford Ragwort, very poisonous.
    7. Dock
    9. Cranesbill
    !0. Hawthorn
    11. Hogweed, if you've touched that today, keep your hands out of the sunlight, as it can cause photosensitivity, you might get burn blisters from it.

    Jazxo, hi - just one thing about pet rabbits, don't give them a lot of fresh green to eat because they will get bladder infection easily. PS you do know that they like to chew everything -that is- in case you let him loose indoors.

    Agree with Scrungee on all of the above except no.8 which looks like Field Maple to me. :dbgrtmb:

      White Bryony is a climber and Field Maple is a tree.

      The pic from that rabbit forum shows a climber:

      Field Maple looks like this:

      I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that one Scrungee.
      It still looks like a small twig taken from a Field maple to me.

      I'd be inclined to agree with Trunky.

      I'm inclined to agree with Scrungee (but, only to even up the odds because I admit :new: and haven't the foggiest) :heehee:
