Small, but pretty pink, upright flowers in summer.

Yes but I'll have to search around to get a name for you.

Seed pods produce stuff a bit like cotton wool, right?

[gobs]

Yes, I think so.

Isn't it a type of willowherb?

There are nine different types in the UK

Can we have more 'guess the weed's? I know my wild flowers pretty well

You got there before me Dewey.  Yes, I'd come to the same conclusion

Then perhaps you'd like to start posting them to the WYSIWYGGY threads?   Especially since you have a lovely new camera too !

I have already renamed the Index as Weeds and Wildflowers!

Will have a go! I do think one person's weed is another person's wildflower...for example I planted meadowsweet, purple loosestrife, marsh marigold and even --- lesser celendine in my garden in England to remind me of all the wild flowers at home.

Will have a go!  

excellent, thanks

I agree, you will see that the index does not differentiate

[Selkie]

That's a good idea

I remember in a different thread on here someone was saying how teasels were weeds to them, whereas they are something that I would positively look out for and keep -- they are wonderful for insects and the seeds are eaten by birds in the winter
