Fabulous Moth. Talking of phone cameras can anyone identify this flower. There are loads of them on the overgrown lottie next to mine. Sorry it's a bit blured.

I don't think so. They are tall...over 3ft, and the stems look similar to carnation stems.Comment

Is it salsify?Comment

I agree with VC - looks like salsify to me!Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?Comment

That's definitely it. Thanks guys.
What can you do with it?Comment

Its self seeded so try digging up a few and find the long thin roots - its also called vegetable oyster and you can boil & eat it like any other root veg. Lovely flowers tooComment

Yep. Found a HFW recipe. Unfortunately it's on a neighbouring plot but if they continue the non cultivation of it I might try and save some of the seeds.Comment

It'll soon blow onto your plot, DK. The heads go fluffy like dandelions.Comment

So I understand, but I don't want it popping up everywhere...just in certain places.Comment
