Does anyone know what this is? It's growing in an awkward location but I like it. Friend of Foe?

Looks like Groundsel, a native plant and loved by caged birds as well as rabbits etc. No we no longer have bunnies I weed them out as and when.

Thank you but it's a little too cold yet to let Bedoogles out in the garden. I usually wait until at least May. Did your rabbits eat this Eileen? Did they mind the cold?

You can pick it and give it to him in the house.

our rabbits were outdoor hutched so yes they were happy with really nice fur coats and they also loved groundsel and dandelions.

My late Mother bred budgies and they adored this. My Zebra finches however didn't and our fussy Rabbit won't touch anything green - a rabbit that doesn't eat greenery!

My rabbit goes about trying this and that and the other thing over there as he embarks on one of his 'adventures?' Gotta keep an eye on him. We have hawks here too. Thanks everyone for your replies. Have you ever seen an Angora Rabbit? They are gorgeous creatures. Just saying.

Also good for insects. I'd keep it.

Thanks Merlin. I'm going to try to move it. I hope it takes.

I think you will find it self seeding all over the place Bathgate. I have to be careful as I find they do seem to attract rust fungus which you definitely do not want on any plant. https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=756 has a list of susceptible plants which might be affected.
