Hi Miranda,

Your picture is not showing up when I view the forum. I've tried copying it into this post.

Unfortunately, I don't know what it is, but I thought I'd reply in the hope of making the picture visible.

Lol Miranda -just asked the same question in another gardening group 2 days ago - it's Inkweed and you will want to get rid of it (or at least collect the seeds if you don't want it to spread everywhere - the birds like to eat them..)

Lol Speedy...thanks :) Is mine the same too them?
I love it as a nursery plant at present - just been chopping off the flower heads so no seed - don't want the birds spreading them around...
