The location is not important as it grew from a packet of Suttons
Wildlife Garden Annual Mix sown in a container. The packet contains
"Cornflower, Corn Marigold, Poppy and other Wild Flowers"

This will be an 'other' then but it seems not to quite fit in with
descriptions in Blamey, Fitter, Fitter (or indeed with the earlier
Fitter, Fitter, Blamey)

Suggestions appreciated. I have two of my own but cannot agree with
myself, hence this post
Image is reduced in size but otherwise unedited so colour etc is 'as is'
on a cloudy but fairly bright day


Looks a bit like a red nettle, but the leaves don't seem hairy enough.


Thanks for the response.
Indeed. I thought the Cut-leaved version but wrong colour.
The stem feels slighty rough but is not visibly hairy.
The leaves are, as you say, not very hairy.
