Hoping you can help widen the diet of my Horsefield
Picture 3
It is still blooming, when may hinder identification, though the leaves look somewhat unusual
Picture 2
I am 99% sure this is a Geranium growing wild in my back garden, is this the case? If so I will feed small amounts of it so as to ensure it continues to grow and survive as much as possible for further cultivating!
Picture 1 (I have merged 2 pictures)
Obscenely common weed near where I live
I checked the wildflowers page of the database, but as it has not flowered it is hard to identify...Flowerless Goldenrod? Flowerless Bristly Oxtongue?
EDIT: Flowerless Buddleia?
'Common' weeds I can't identify!
Re: 'Common' weeds I can't identify!
Hi,
A bit of sun and a bit of rain and those weeds are coming up fast and furious!
Your first photo (with the tiny white flowers) is Garlic Mustard, and here is our entry for it:

The second photo (with the pink flowers) is Oxalis and here is our entry for that:
http://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/plan ... Sl8IcbauM8
The last two photos: The one on the left looks like one of the Willowherbs (probably Rosebay Willowerb):
http://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/plan ... Sl8fcbauM8 Re the photo on the right - I can't be absolutely sure -- and might be a Willowherb as well, or something else, but if you wait a week or so until it flowers we will be sure. Or Lin might come on later and ID these better than I can.
So there are some edibles there.

Re: 'Common' weeds I can't identify!
Awesome! Many thanks!
I 'think' there is a field full of ground elder, but it can look so similar to other plants (yarrow, elderberry etc) I am worried about misidentification
One day I'll be able to identify them myself...I hope!

Re: 'Common' weeds I can't identify!
Yeah, you're right -- Ground Elder can look like other things (and that is true of a lot of plants). You can always post a photo for ID -- or just wait until it flowers and send us a photo then. Happy hunting!
