Hi all, I'm new to this site and have found it really interesting, but I need help. I found this growing in my greenhouse, presume it has seeded itself, as I only grow flowers. What is it please?

Looks like Datura stramonium, Thorn Apple. Rather poisonous and since there are so many of them appearing, the seed must be in the composts.

Thanks, best to remove, with gloves and burn then ?

I'd say so. We've been asked about this plant quite a lot in the last few weeks.

Oh, and Welcome to GOY by the way! :-)

Don't need gloves, they are only poisonous if ingested, not to the touch.
