anyone have any clue we thought it was a carrot because of its leaves but no carrots as I said before.

 

Dunno what it's called but I remember an old neighbour having them, they aren't carrots they are bedding plants I think

 

is it an old ladies plant then cos people i have spoke to said there mothers had them in there garden :eek: :eek: :D :D

 

my mother had them years ago in her garden i,m sure it was them but dont know the name of them, I used to tell her she had weeds in her garden and i would pull them up for her, she said they werent and pretty sure they had blue flowers, as my mother loved anything blue. sorry i cant be of more help

 

thanks rosa someone must know what it is will have to wait and see

 

Sorry Patricia, I meant an old neighbour as in an ex-neighbour (where I used to live), she wasn't old :D

 

well never mind dizi if Rosas mam had them and my neighbour has them they MUST be old my neighbour is 70 :eek: :eek: :D :D

 

well i thought they were weeds and they still look like weeds to me :D :D lets hope someone can prove me wrong :eek: :confused:

 

Gotta say it looks a bit like a carrot to me as well.
Dont think even I would grow that as an ornamental

 

Could they be Astors? or even Asters. :D

 

Looks like Nigella ---"Love in the mist" to me. The flowers are blue and feathery.

 

Looks like Yellow Scabious S.ochroleuca.

 

I vote for Love in the Mist, looking at what looks like a bud and they seed around. You will have to put up a photo when the flower opens.

 

Stem looks wrong for Nigella, the whole plant looks too "heavy" for want of a better word, Nigella is more delicate, hence the Love in a mist name.
