One thing for sure: just to be on the safe side, I wouldn't add it to my soup.

What's the name of that weed with yellow flowers that people are supposed to remove from their land but that very few do? It's bad for cows, horses, etc. Ragweed or ragwort, or something like that. I think that's what it is.

It looks like ragwort to me as well.

Annoying me as I knew what this was but just plain forgot.

The purple one look a bit like Larkspur, but lack the actual spur, so I don't think that's it. It's not delphinium, either. Hmmm.

EDIT: Harebell, maybe?

Stheno

Here's a better one of the purple could it be tick clover?

New Home

I don't think so, the flowers don't look right.

This one is Delphinum (actually, no, the leaves are wrong), but it looks different to the one growing through the rose. And I don't think it's tick clover, either (look at the leaves).

Not sure what the 'two' are.
The blue one is campanula anyway.
Do you mean the rose sucker aswell?

The purple one is monkshood I think, usually blue, they can be purple.

The first pic looks like campanula.

Ah I see it now it's toadflax.

Thanks to Blaris for the ID previously in the thread.

Toadflax is that a weed?

I think these are Lady gloves and I've just found out they are toxic all over.
How much of a threat are they to pets - cats?

Yes, they are foxgloves, ladys fingers etc - and very nice ones too. I've had them around cats, dogs, sheep, cattle, hens, ducks, geese etc down the years and never had a problem. They are harmful if ingested and most animals steer well clear of them and other noxious/toxic plants.

That's what I wanted to hear. Thanks a million. I was worried the cats may have a nibble on them for some reason.

looksee

If you closely examined the contents of your garden you would find any number of plants that are toxic to some degree. Animals - especially cats - don't tend to eat things that are poisonous to them (unless the plants are hidden in hay or silage) and since cats roam anyway there is no point worrying about what might poison them.

auspicious

Cheers looksee. In some articles I read, the words - potentially-deadly-if-swallowed were attributed to Foxgloves. Knowing there was a potential danger to the cats where they often hangout I thought I'd seek advice from you very knowledgeable peeps.

I scarified 20 years worth of moss off a lawn and overseeded it... now in its place, weeds are doing their best to fill in the gaps, I never sprayed them before scarifying, I'm just going to remove what I can.

What is this reddish weed? Some sort of tree? It has popped up in 2 or 3 different spots.

Hello. Could one of my green fingered friends please I.D. these unusual plants for me please?
I first seen them grown up in the Zoo a couple of months ago and was struck by their strange shape and beauty. I dont see many around but need to add them to my tropical style garden.
