I think it might be a herb. If it has a strong smell or rough skin. But I am sure I have seen it before somewhere I just can't remember where

Hijuju I said 'we' i.e. Mr MB and I pull it out as a weed - because it does not fit into our garden. A weed is a plant in the wrong place, for us this is a weed, for others it may well be a precious asset to the garden. We also remove Mec. cambrica whenever we remember.

it is one of the loosestrifes. can be a weed or a joy. It is both in my garden depending on which bed it is in.

Yup that's it Linaria... seeds like mad if we don't keep pulling it out.
