    I have a few of these popping up in the front garden definitely remind me of euphorbia, never had any but will keep them if they are. 20210710_113510.jpg

      I have too many of them and pull them out as weeds.

        It's a weed called Petty Spurge which is in the Euphorbia family, it really needs to be pulled up before it seeds otherwise it takes over. It is flowering now and seeds will come very quick!

          I certainly hope it's a weed as I have been pulling them out for years. :doh:They just appear en masse from nowhere. I think the plant is called Linnunsilmä in Finnish if that's of any help :biggrin:

              As with all Spurges this little one produces a milky sap when you break the stem and can irrate the skin, best to wear gloves.
