RARE PLANT 002

Please can anyone tell what this is ,as apeared this year in our garden ? Is it a flower or weed ?

Never seen it before. Weeds are only plants growing in the wrong place anyway and this one is very pretty - I would certainly keep it if it appeared in my garden!

cant remember latin name. I know it as 'Ned go to bed by noon'

Goat's Beard (Tragopogon pratensis), or Jack/ned go to bed by noon. do the flowers shut by mid day?

Thanks to all who've answered.Strange unusual names given and yes the flower did close midday.I new grows on you ' friends' would help me out .Thanks

And to add to the above, if you don't want it popping up everywhere, remove the attractive seedheads before they get dispersed by the wind. They grow where ever they land here, but i was surprised to find them a good 200' away.

I'd no idea there were blue ones of these! Have only come across the yellow ones. Does anyone know where these grow wild, if they do?

Mine came in a pot with a plant I bought. But i reckon it could be growing wild around here soon.:-)

they do indeed grow wild. if i find any seed any where i will collect it for you.

Anyone wants seeds from my blue / pinky coloured pant I will post onto.Let me know

Thank you Seaburngirl and Pammie!
