Plant ID please
Anyone recognise this plant please. We were given some young plants
grown from seed by a neighbour. The plants have grown fast and strong. I can't help wondering if they are a "normal" garden flower or a colourful weed based on the amount of leaves in comparison to the number of flowers and the fact that they seem to grow so well! http://www.avisoft.co.uk/Photos/Hpim7141a.jpg -- David in Normandy.

Thanks Russel. I've just googled the name and it sounds like it can be a
bit invasive. An annual so I need to collect seeds from it. Apparently it is poisonous to flies and other insects that try to feed on its sap. Hence its other name "shoo fly". Good to keep in a greenhouse to help protect against white fly one web site said. Also known as "Apple of Peru" Russel Sprout wrote: "David in Normandy" wrote in message ...
