  • Help With Identifying Strange Plant

    Can anyone help me to identify this strange plant, please? I've never seen anything like it before. I started off green a few weeks ago, but now it looks like traffic lights!

            Its just that everyone asks about the plants in my garden - mostly the weeds
            Read the Wiki wotsit description of how it gets its various nicknames

              Wow, thank you! I wasn't expecting such a quick answer! It's very pretty, so I might just leave it where it is.

                Pretty, yes - but highly toxic and invasive with a root that snaps off making it difficult to control.

                  Just remove the leaves as they appear, it soon dies. Of course you might have a shed load of seeds from earlier flowering already in the soil.
