    This has grown up in front of a rosebush and I've no idea whether it's intentional or even what it is? Any help is much appreciated. D :-) IMG_20170530_195636.jpg

    I'm guessing at cow parsley. @Zigs is bound to know! :)

        I see where you are coming from, @Cinnamon!

        My first thought was flat-leaf parsley. Cow parsley has quite delicately feathered leaves, normally....

          Does look like feverfew, and the right time of year, but the leaves look more spaced out up the stem than normal but that could be because of sudden warm spell. Apart from being a pleasant garden plant it's also used as a herbal remedy for migraine. The flowers can be all white, white with yellow centres or white with orange centres. Most are single petalled but some are doubled. A nice cheerful plant. :dbgrtmb:

          Wait and see what the flowers are and post up a picture as soon as you can. :)

            I'd go with Feverfew too, looks like it's just about to flower so we'll soon know :spinning:

                  Thanks Zigs but it's true. :redface: I did start to study them as a youngster but found animals more distracting. Our family home and garden was a menagerie back then as well as other hobbies going on - never a dull moment! :)
