I knew someone called Ivor Plant. Unfortunately he was not a nurseryman.

I haven't seen it flower as yet, Digeroo.

I think I'll dig it up and put it into a pot to see what occurs over the next few months.

Someone said it may be wild lettuce .....?

Not wild lettuce, we get those on our site... a pronounced white rib down the middle of the leaves and some small spines...  :-X

Because my surname was Plant at school, they used to call me 'little weed'.

better than being called Mrs Nipple wort then, which, as unwashed suggests, is what it looks like   ;D
