Frankly, I don't think so.

Wait, scrap that, sorry. Yes, perhaps you're right.

I'm excited to see the flowers on these.

As an aside, those daisy's are prolific and pretty but so messy!!! Tall, gangly.

Could really only be campanula with those shaped flower buds.

So, definitely not a clarkia, then?

I think this is it. I'm now convinced that they could be zombie creeping bellflowers even though the flower pattern looks different.

I was thinking more of C. glomerata

Could anyone help me with this. Set no2 seed on half and acre 3 weeks ago, and a lot of this has started to appear on the bigger of the 2 lawns.
Anyone any suggestions on what to do?

Looks a bit like a radish or at least a member of that family. Oil seed rape would be one possible https://cropscience.bayer.co.uk/threats/broad-leaved-weeds/volunteer-oilseed-rape/

Its nothing really to bother about as it soon goes once the mower is put over it.

Charlock, Sinapis arvensis, loves disturbed ground

Can you please help me identify the plant growing in the very bad lawn? I did buy a seedbomb for bees but I do not know it this has migrated from the box it was in.
I will be stripping back the grass and start again but worried that it might be sinister. Any idea please? It has fury spines on the main body of the stem. Thank you all.

If you're thinking Japanese knotweed, it's not. Do you still have the packet? It may list what type of seeds it contained.

Just not able to tell from that pic, a close up/sharper couple of pics would help

The Waxbill

Possibly Eryngium.

Looking sideways at them they look similar to - and are at the same stage as - my Chinese Asters.

You know what I just looked Asters up and I think you’re right, the name rings a bell too lol...

Holy Diver

Can someone ID this please?

It seems to have been planted by the previous owner. It is right pain as it self-seeds everywhere within a 2m radius

Sisyrinchium (californicum). Also comes in purple (bellum).

looksee

I'm rather fond of those - the Sisyrinchium - I've just bought some of the purple ones. I had them in my last garden and didn't find them particularly invasive.

New Home

Me too, I love them! My purple ones died (I bought them at least three times ), my yellow ones are still alive but I can't say I've found them to be invasive at all - mind you, they're in a pot and there's only a little compact tuft of them.

Holy Diver

The keep seeding between my patio slabs.

I think these are the last of the unknowns in the garden.

This is showing no signs of flowers. The leaves are leathery, and tough, scratchy.

These are tuberous comfrey. Another. Fairly invasive perennial. The bees have shown no interest in this so it's coming up.

Yes, these are Persicaria campanulata, Lesser Knotweed, that sight in my garden would bring me out in a cold sweat!

I've now seen how this creeps....stretch and down....I suspect I'll lift these once they've finished flowering.

I need a suggestion to fill the space please. Something tall, relatively thin (so hydrangea is as wide as it is tall). West facing wall gets sun pretty much all day. Good soil.

Looks to me like a brassica (cabbage) family plant gone to produce seed. Maybe it is one of those decorative cabbage varieties or a type of kale.

looksee

Agree, its an ornamental cabbage gone to flower. I'd sort it now or you will have ornamental cabbages all over the place!

thanks, sort it out how?

Cut off the flowers either now or the moment they die, before they have chance to set seed.

Thank you you put my mind at ease.

I found the bee mat packet and this is what is says
common knapweed
Greater knapweed
golden rod
chrysanthemum mix
borage
anise hyssop
cornflower
verbena
lady phacelia
vipers bugloss

Assuming it is one of these.

It doesn't look like any of those, more like one of the large yellow flowered brassicas, but also possibly a composite/aster like Cicerbita
