unidentified plant/weed
« on: April 15, 2011, 23:37:02 »
Hi everyone, just wondered if anyone could identify this plant/weed just by me posting as I dont have a scanner to put plant on site/web. I think it may have come in my manure. The plant looks very much like a primula/primrose kind of leaf. Someone said it could be Teezle?. It seems to be growing at a good speed infact today it looks very much like a pointed lettuce ( brain tired and cant think of lettuce name)  Thanks

Teasle leaves are spikey, could it be evening primrose?

Looks like young teazel to me, leaves go more pointy and sharp as stem grows up

Ace. It does look like it is Teasle. Is it a good thing to let grow? or should i remove it quickly?

I started off with one a few years back and now it appears as seedlings all over the place. If you don't mind that it's a handsome structural plant and birds love seedheads in the winter.

Seed heads are great for dried flower arrangements.

superb seed heads in winter for birds. Probably best on a wild area but looks great as a seed head.
