Calling all Wildflower experts Help required in identification please!!

Could be rapeseed from the look of the flower.

Haven't got a clue hun, just wanted to say hello and hope you ok!

Could this be "Greater Celandine"? Looks very similar.

Thanks Bamboo - Looked at Rapeseed, not that one, the flower is similar in that it has four petals but the stamen and shape are not the same, have looked at Mustard and think that this is the closest but the leaves of the plant look different, also it is very hairy stemmed. The plant is also more of a bushy shape than rapeseed grows (it tends to grow tall and slender) but thank you for your efforts.

Hi Dido, yes I am fine and well hope you are too thank you for your response good to hear from you. Hope you have managed to find some time to spend in your garden this summer. I have been fairly busy, we have not had a lot of rain like some areas and have had to water my garden frequently, bit cooler now and had some showers but until the last fortnight it has been warm and dry if not sunny very cloudy and promised rain but we never got it. Great to hear from you best wishes - Barbara (Oliveoil)

Hi Grannyb yes I looked at that also and found it to look very similar but not sure that the leaf of the plant is the same, what do you think?

It's as near as I could find, normally my "keeble martin" has the answer and I scoured the "Complete British Wild Flower" Googled it and it's as close as anything.

At first glance the leaves lot a bit cabbage like when they are just ready to plant out, but no so.

Then I thought St John's Wort, but no. Then the cinquefoils but leaves all wrong.

it fits the description in "Complete British Wild Flowers" but I wouldn't put my money on it.

has it actually fruited yet that would be a good indicator.

Try "Wildeherb.com" look for fruit pod and scroll down the page. This looks pretty much like your plant.

I'm sure someone will come up with a different conclusion.

Grannyb have been back and broken a bit of the flower stem and it does ooze a yellow/orange liquid so think you might have got it right there. Still not sure of the shape of the leaf though, but for the time being am going with that. I googled pictures of Greater Celandine and it had a picture more or less the same as the one in the tub. I am thinking more now on the lines that this is it. I am going to save some seeds and hopefully grow them for my wildflower border. Thank you again for your input greatly appreciate it.

Glad you got an idea....i've never seen it before in my life! Nice bright yellow though!

Pretty sure it is Greater Celandine, think it might have been dropped by the birds or come in the wild bird seed. It is very pretty, need to save some seeds now to grow some in the wildflower area. It is a lovely plant.

Yes, well if you don't succeed, you can always try one of the trendy wildflower seed suppliers that are all the rage now....

Certainly could, that red orach is just about to flower, what is left of it, something eating the leaves, but cannot see what is at it. Will take a picture as soon as it flowers.

Glad to be of help Oliveoil.

Think next year will just spread the wild bird food around in a small area and see what comes up. This year I have had "Nigella, Sunflowers and Poppies to name but a few.

The pkt of wild flower seed I purchased cost £2.00, so a free handful from the bird mix is worth a try.

What a good idea Grannyb. Must remember that one.

my brother grows this in a small wild flower spot. it is greater celandine. a pretty plant isnt it. I cant get it to survive in my garden.

Greater celandine is the only one I know of with orange sap, which used to be used to get rid of warts!

thank you everyone, very good of you all to help with the i.d. of this plant yes it is a lovely plant and I am going to try and save some seed and grow it in my wildflower border thank you all again. The sap is very dark yellow/orange and I did read it was used in herbal remedies for the reduction of warts, I wonder if it worked. lol.

I also have this all round the garden but it tends to take over so have to pull some out much to hubbies dismay!

very interesting read ladies...glad you got this lovely plant named Barbara, it's nice...

Olive - yes it did - on my son's wart!

The old ones are always the best lol:o) pleased it works Steragram.
