Weed/Plant identification.
"Stewart Robert Hinsley" wrote in message ... In message , Russel Sprout writes "Emrys Davies" wrote in message ... Would someone kindly identify this weed/plant for me. It is about 18" tall, has leaves very similar to those of a foxglove and at first sight it could easily be mistaken for a foxglove. Its flowers are almost identical to those of a Lithodora 'Heavenly Blue'. http://tinyurl.com/5ganxe It has woody roots which are fairly deep and clump forming and is very invasive, particularly by self seeding. Thanks, Emrys Davies. I'l have a guess at Borage. http://www.rawrob.com/wp-content/upl.../04/borage.jpg TinyURL is firewalled here, but I don't think that the description is of Borage. Bugloss (Anchusa) or Alkanet (Pentaglottis) has flowers more similar - at least superficially - to Lithodora than does Borage (Borago). -- Stewart Robert Hinsley I am quite sure that my plant is Alkanet (Pentaglottis). The link describes all aspects of it perfectly. I am really sorry that it was allowed to escape from cultivation. |
