Much more of a problem is Alchemilla mollis, which
seeds everywhere and is very difficult to uproot.


And to think that I've lovingly tended a clump of this for 2 years, weeding
it, pricking out the wee offsets, picking out the dried dead leaves....
It looks fantastic with dew on it.

A bad weed in my garden is something I've not identified with flowers
resembling forget-me-not, leaves big and rough (spiky enough to be scratchy
rather than prickly) with pale splotches. The whole plant grows about 3 ft
high if left to do so. Seems perennial, plus seeds all over the place.
Anyone know what it is?
