wildflower id

Looks like a spurge or euphorbia to me

Probably Euphorbia amygdaloides (known as wood spurge) or possibly sun spurge, but need to see the whole plant for proper ID. Basically, its a Euphorbia!

Yup and in our garden at least we weed out with a vengeance!

it,s Bupleurum Rotundifòlium,
or thoroughwax as it,s known.
found it on google search under perfoliate leaves..lol

Sorry Usernut but I'll stick with Euphorbia the plant you are citing looks nothing like the pix. - take a look at http://www.cas.vanderbilt.edu/bioimages/species/buro.htm

thats the one, scroll down that page and it,s identicle.

have a look at this page..

Usernut I have to hang my head and say I think you are right...

Top of the class, Usernut.....I have been following your logic and am impressed! Wonder how it got into your garden though! Have you had a bouquet of rather exotic flowers given to you at some point - as I believe it is used as a filler/foil by florists...and maybe the seeds fell out on the way to the compost heap!!! Just a thought - but it grows like a weed in the USA as you will have read by now - but is frost tender if you want to keep any.

it does say it looks like an airy euphorbia and I thought it could be a member of that species but the leaves look different, so search on the leaves and spotted thoroughwax or hare's ear as it,s also known.

thank's Alzheimer, I grew it individually from a wildflower seed mix, I like to see what I get and try to find out what it is.
it,s like a lucky dip..lol

Oh dear - and there was I thinking you were getting exotic bouquets!! Never mind - how exciting to track down what is in the wild flower mix. I get some weird things popping up under my bird feeders...heaven knows what they put in these seed mixes but one year I had a very pretty ferny looking plant growing abundantly around ...until a grandson - home from Uni - visited and hooted with laughter...at which point it dawned on me what it probably was and I uprooted and incinerated it all smartly!!!! LOL

Me too Alzheimer - they must put hemp seeds in the mixes at times - I had a fantastic sativa plant growing in a pot with bamboo - I didn't notice it when it was small, and I passed the bamboo onto a neighbour for him to plant in his garden - he called me in 2 months later to show me how well the "bamboo" was growing. Not sure they're the actual marijuana plant as such though, the leaves were slightly different ;-)

well done for growing it as my field guide says it is 'becoming rare'. its an umbellifer and when you look closley you can see the typical features.

thanks seaburngirl, It said on one of the sites I id,d it on that is was becoming rare.
I think it's a lovely wee plant ( i have a few) with a great shape to it.
it,ll be in my new border next year too.
