I’ll keep that in mind in case I’m there with Phillip over the next week!! Might as well make the most of a bad situation!

I'm wondering what this pink plant is?

Sorry, I can't think what this plant can be. If you see it again, try to take a photo just of the flower head and also a photo of the leaves. Theoretically it should be easy to identify as there as only a few plants with flowers that pale pink.

I had cow parsley over the winter last year.
It went over early this summer because of the heat ... I am looking forward to the new growth

cow parsley growing here already and looking very lush. I could indeed get that most of the year if I trusted myself to ID it correctly which I don't.
Does anyone feed or have an opinion on feeding rosehips? I seem to recall something about them having some effect on the heart in big quantities. Mine currently get half of one some days

I've found some lovely yellow flowered plants growing like weeds in my garden. I didn't know what they were and thought they were rogues among my veggies. I have absolutely no idea what they are!!
Should I post this on the gardening thread?
Or does anyone know of yellow flowered (quite large flowers) plants that are edible ... hmmm

Ah c'mon, you're stretching the bounds of people's capabilities here :lol: Large yellow flowers on plants that are edible!!!!!!
Right let's get some rigour into this task :lol:
How tall is the plant?
What are the yellow fllowers like, daisy-shaped or what? In a cluster? Are the flowers on branched stems or single stem?
What are the leaves like?
How large are the flowers approx?
If it's edible, you must have tasted it, so what does it taste like?

Dear Lucy from Southampton,
Is it possible that you have sown some Rocket and it has now gone up to flower? Could you taste one of the leaves and see if it tastes like Rocket?
If it is, then yes rabbits can eat all of the plant. Mine have eaten this in the past.
Kind regards,
Omi

Well I was hoping they were edible - but I am now thinking maybe not.
So I went and had another look and 'evening primrose' came to me. I have no idea why, and I have yet to google, but I am not sure they are edible, although their oil is precious?
<goes to research a bit more> .... They are taking up valuable space, but I am glad they have now flowered, because to be honest I thought they might be turning into sunflowers (for the squirrels, obviously :lol

The wild form of Evening Primrose is beautiful. I've never seen it growing in the UK, only in France. I would doubt it was edible.
