Having trouble id'ing this blighter - weed perhaps ?
A couple of these have suddenly sprung up in my flower bed.
http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/4843/weeddc9.jpg I have been planting annual seeds in previous years so I am unsure if they could be flowers or weeds. I personally would say weed but cannot find anything similar on the net. Thanks for any help ! Uncle C High Wycombe |

out, even from my veg. plots. Mary Thanks everyone for your very swift replies ! I haven't learnt from my mistakes as I pulled a couple out last year thinking they were weeds !!!!!!! About four or five have encamped themselves inbetween and amongst my Liatris. Should that be a problem at all ? It is begining to looked pretty cramped in there :) Uncle |

Usually pink single but there are some beautiful red doubles around here. If it's a good one just collect the seed and scatter it where you would prefer them to grow next year (and thereafter). -- Regards Bob Hobden |

Usually pink single but there are some beautiful red doubles around here. If it's a good one just collect the seed and scatter it where you would prefer them to grow next year (and thereafter). I have two kinds growing wild: one is single - pale mauve petals with a large dark blotch at the inner end of each - and the other also mauve but very double - like a large woollen bobble for a child's hat. They blend well with the roses, and are just as attractive as a deliberately cultivated plant. Of course, the seed does spread enthusiastically, and many of the seedlings have to be pulled up to give other things a chance. These and various other "gifts from the birds" are a delight.
