    Indian Balsam... very invasive, last time we went to Quarry Bank Mill National Trust at Styal in Cheshire, they had signs dotted about asking people to rip it out if they see it when walking along the river
    Not sure what the other 2 are :dunno:

        Think this one is a very droopy (daytime!) Evening Primrose?

        Don't know what this is but I have a feeling it is a weed gone crazy...

                  My pleasure Woo :)

                  If you get a lot of them they dry out very well and you can add them to winter stews and owl pellets.

                      Best guess at this one is Rock Sea Spurrey.

                            Hi @Zigs definitely naughty! :snorky: But it does seem to have turned up as part of a mix of sunflowers, niger, atriplex etc designed for encouraging wild birds to field borders. There are loads of these - up to 6 foot tall and close to flowering... Actually quite pretty plant.
