    Just for fun would anybody like to guess what this is. The flowers are about 1.5cm diameter. They surprised me.

    Its very much cultivated, except this one "escaped".
    Pete was getting warm, as it is a food crop.

    Escaped was a clue. How abour "bolted".
    Pete
    The colour of the buds is important, and I have seen carrots that colour, but its not a carrot. Sorry. :D

    You're right. It was an Oakleaf lettuce that bolted while we were away for a week.
