Plant ID Please
Hi all
Sorry for the (lack of) quality of this image http://a360.co/19YYRiU. The plant is self seeded to the left of a currant bush. The first 12-18" is a vertical stem with horizontal pointed leaves. Above this, multiple stems splay out and are topped atm with what look like tightly bound green buds about 1/2" diameter. I was intrigued by the initial vertical stem, so let it continue growing in the (mainly) vegetable plot. Anyone put a name to this please? We do put mixed bird seed out, but I would be surprised if that was the source. Thanks Phil |

I also have some self seeded near my veggie plot although mine are not quite as leggy as yours. I'd never seen them before and had to look them up. |

Yes, caper spurge (Euphorbia lathyris); I had guessed that before looking at the photo. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
