    Can any of you help me identify this little plant that is growing at the bottom of my garden?

      Hello amandapooh and welcome to GC.

      Your little flower rather resembles the vetch/lathyrus/sweetpea family.

      Hopefully someone else will come along and advise further.

        Sorry Victoria, don't think it's lathyrus, they have strap like leaves. But I can't come up with anything else at the moment, sorry amandapooh. :)

        [​IMG] Amandapooh.. I think I agree with Zig.. This is my Fumitory in my wild-flower garden.... It is a lovely wild flower & a fascinating plant historically.. Have a look here if you are interested...

          You appear to be entirely correct Marley ... and that is a new one for me so I have learned something today. :yess:

          I don't see where Zig said anything ... :scratch:

            I'm starting to see a pattern as to why its doing it. Only does a few, not all of them. It doesn't seem to like first posts with pictures attached.

            It is a lovely one.. I am getting quite a nice collection of wild-flowers together now.. If you can remind me I will collect some seeds & post them over.. I think I would give it a couple of weeks yet though.. :thumbsup:
