Flower or weed
1 Attachment(s)
Hello all
This is my first post and it's an identification question. Can you tell me if the attached picture shows a flower or a weed leaf system. I'm a complete novice at this, my wife was the green fingered but she sadly passed away last year. So now I'm in charge but don't know my weeds from my elbow. So if you could identify this plant as friend (flower) or foe (weed) I'd be grateful. Thanks Derek |

A weed is simply a plant where you don't want it. They spread like weeds in my yard but I mostly leave them alone since I'm going for an informal look anyway. -- Dan Espen |

I'd let it grow. Flower buds will probably be appearing fairly soon. |

I'll leave it to grow and see what happens Thanks Derek |
This looks like Welsh poppy to me. It should eventually have a yellow or orange flower. It will seed itself around and whether you allow it to do this depends on how much you like it.
