    Yes, Lords and Ladies. If you are tempted to dig some up for your garden, don't, it is very poisonous and allergenic.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    I saw the flowers near the new allotments on Powerstown road, Tyrrelstown, Dublin 15.

    My only interest was in taking a photos and finding out what they were.
    It is probably best to leave wild flowers alone.
