oHi all trying to find out the name of this wild plant but cannot upload the picture from my camera on my tablet so I shall try to explain in detail what it is like. Green about 3ft high grass like whispy thick stems leading from the base and spreading outward about 2ft with very whispy skinny leaves that make the plant look bush like I hope this is a good enough description of this plant which is very hardy grows well in our rockery I would even say flourishes with lots of sun and I would also say it's probably either a grass type flower or a fern type flower so any ideas of what it my be would be most grateful many Thanx to one and all. Jimmy and Lisa

Hi Jimmy and welcome. Photo is essential here - could be one of many plants from your description but I hope its not horsetail
You mention a flower - does it have a colour - or is it the same as the rest of the plant ie green

Hi veggiechicken no it doesn't have any colour just light green like my lawn thanx. Jimmy

Hi all asked my eldest brother who's a bit of a whizz when it comes to gardening and also sent him a picture by email and he recons it's a crab apple strain of a vine weed can anyone relate to this and if so send pictures as i cannot send to site only individual emails. Many thanks Jimmy

Doesn't mean anything to me, Jimmy.
Did he mean Bindweed - like this Bindweed (Black) - Wild Flower Finder
