    That's weird as I'm getting the plant with an entire leaf like say Verbascum and also the plant with the pinnate leaf in my picture, when I google.
    But I think you are right.:blue thumb:

      I did a quick Google and I think the ones with the verbascum leaf are verbascum nigrum and just mislabelled. I grow nigrum and it's quite easy to identify. Agrimony doesn't have the dark centres as far as I'm aware.

          Pyramidal orchid in sand dunes at edge of Pembrey beach. Almost pure sand - I'm amazed so much grows there!

                Not much fungi around at this time of year, this looks like some sort of oyster mushroom IMG_20250623_120959.jpg

                  They may be a pain in the flower bed or allotment, but in a hedge they look lovely IMG_20250623_111810.jpg

                    The incredibly tiny insectivorous Pale Butterwort, the rosette is just 2cm wide.
