It's not really gardening, but we haven't got a nature area, so could someone tell me what this is, please? Not the Ragwort..





.. nor the thistle...

Is it burdock?

[arugula]

Thanks for the quick reply. It could be, but not all the google images have the same leaf...  not a dandelion in sight, but it seems to enjoying being a companion to the Ragwort.

There is a slight variation in leaf shape, but essentially they are large wavy edged hearts, that have a paler underside.

The leaves that grow up the stems themselves are slightly different as seen in your last picture 

So--burdock fer shore

I was looking at one of these on some plots I was visiting on Sunday and a lady there asked me to ID this one. I said it was burdock as I couldn't think what else it could be

Yup, those are sticky buds. Never forgoet what those look like, once ate one as a 12 year old for a dare.......Takes weeks for those tiny little barbs to disengage from the tongue.........Most uncomfortable.
