    A weed is a plant in the wrong place!

    #3 is bittercress - (a weed for me) but facinating to see its spring loaded seed spreading!

    The others are weeds too. The second one is forgetmenot, and the little pinky-purple plant at the front of the third pic is also a weed - herb robert. The first one is a weed but i cant remember what it is called.

    Spurge! Honestly I have loads of the stuff - the 'plant' rather than the weed, but very similar, and I know perfectly well what it is called :o. Thanks!:)

    Be careful of the milky sap in the spurge.
