Topic: (wild?) Flower identification required

Found near an old garden not cultivated since very early 80's. Around 2 foot high, foliage has curled a little since it was cut. Seems to have self sown itself very well covering around 50 square feet now, even the nettles are struggling against it:)

Thanks folks, after a quick google it looks like I can harvest this for my compost heap :)
Any other uses for it?
It has spread quite a lot so I am guessing it is not the sterile version mentioned on wikipedia. Been back down and there is about half a footy field worth of it so if you can think of any uses for it i'd be all ears :)

Looks very pretty, I think I will wait till it finishes flowering before taking any.

It's a nice flower on that one. It's extremely difficult to get out once it becomes established, but it's good for liquid manure.

ou can use the leaves as a surface mulch as well... and a leaf or two left on the surface make a good slug hiding place so you can find them to dispose of!
