Hi peeps,
Can anyone identify this plant?
Almost pulled it up as a weed but glad i didn't.
It looks like some sort of euphorbia but i can't narrow it down any
more than that.

TIA


Caper spurge, Euphorbia lathyrus


It's a biennial, and dies after flowering, so if you want it permanently
in the garden you'll need to keep a look-out for seedlings I've had one
for the last 10 years or so - can't remember off-hand where this year's
seedling is ;-)

ISTR they're annual down south.
