Hi
I was wondering if you can name this plant that has self seeded in my
garden.

My parents and neighbours who are old and keen gardeners also have no
idea and we have not found it anywhere else. At first when I saw it I
thought it was a Euphorbia self seeded, as I have several, but as you
can see from the top of the plant (after what I would refer to the stalk
of the plant) it is completely different. It would appear to be a
different plant, the leaves are a different shape and texture, and on
long stems, and at the moment there are either flowers or fruit
forming. It is something none of us have come across before. I hope you
can help.

Thanks in advance :-)

It IS a type of Euphorbia but I can't remember which.

The round leaved small version is a pest in our garden, we think this one is
worth keeping until it flowers, just for its architectural shape.
