Wood Avens for Sophiemears
3 comments
Further to your question on a plant id and my answer, these are the wild Wood Avens (Geum urbanum) from my garden. You will notice that one has the tri-lobed leaves and the other not. One is in very damp areas, the other, with the cut leaves not so much, perhaps this explains it!

Hi Stera - They both have the yellow flowers and as they grow in different places, I had never really looked at the leaves, just assumed they were the same plant. Then Sophie was asking about an id and I went out to pick some and found they had different leaves. Probably just a soil thing!

Must be...they certainly do spread themselves around - saw one today growing in a little crack between the path and the house wall - grrr.

Are the flowers the same, because from the leaves the one with bigger leaves looks as though it might be water avens, which has white nodding flowers rather than the tiddly little yellow ones of wood avens. The latter are rather a menace here - always yanking them out from unsuitable places.
