    Is this it, Rogesse ? Describes it as a noxious weed!!! Looks quite pretty to me.

      Commonly called fox and cubs - it's a thug though. You'll never evict it!

          Wait till it overtakes your lawn! It will.

            surely if its supposed to be there then by definition it ceases to be a weed

              Oh! Thanks lettucegrow and flummery (I think...) - clever you, it is indeed what you say and there was me telling hubby to strim carefully as I thought he might eradicate it before I'd had the chance to collect the seeds

              My lawn consists of plantain, daisy, dandelion and moss (no actual grass) and it does look very pretty under a hedge where nothing else will grow so it'll stay but I'll be keeping an eye on it!

                The problem is it not only seeds prolifically but it sends out runners. It gets you coming and going!
