I.D please

[wildherbalian85]

Any ideas???





And...

[jhewitt15]

I'm not sure about the first one but the second looks like either nettle leaved bellflower or clustered bellflower

[JennyS]

The first is Bears-Breeches - Acanthus species - garden escape and a stunning looking plant!

[leifus]

I'd say nettle-leaved bellflower for the first one

[wildherbalian85]

Thanks for the I.D peeps.

The second one did look like a nettle with a large bluebell flower - the flower smelt pleasent too.

The first was growing on a verge next to a country lane.

[wildherbalian85]

Got another for I.D if possible.

ignore the henbane which is in the middle of the picture, im wondering if anybody might be able to i.d the other plant which surrounds it??

[leifus]

some sort of ragwort or perhaps a water dropwort plant...

The latter is a no no, though it might be a ragwort rosette as there was alot of ragwort near by. Thanks

Punt at Common Fumitory? Common arable weed (plant) that can smother a field.

[JennyS]

The other plant is none of the suggested, I reconise it but can't think what it is.....

I know what you mean, not very happy with Fumitory, but it looks familiar.

Looks like a contender. Though it wasn't flowering and i only noticed it on the disturbed ground were the henbane was. Also it remained low to the ground.

As is visable, there is alot of ragwort on either side of this strip, so maybe it is possible it might be ragwort??

Jenni, Meta, if its of any help this strip of land i believe might be there for the conservation of arable weed's, so it might be a rare plant, though probably not

It looks too fine-boned for ragwort. When was this taken?

Today. Yes i think you are to something because i googled ragwort rosettes and they don't look alike.

Its a very young rosette, a couple of weeks at the most, and though it wasn't very hairy it did have hairs but these were towards the center of the plant, considering i don't have the greatest camera and this was a distant shot, i was not likely to capture these sticky things. As it grows it will become more hairy and the leaves will become much bigger.

I think it is Phacelia tanacetifolia

[rscott74]

If the pic is recent and Phacelia tanacetifolia shouldn't it be flowering? They are around my way.

[wildherbalian85]

Well i'm so sure on the this being the plant - but thanks non the less. Oh and a big thank you for helping I.D this crop of plant's i saw growing on the edge of a wheat crop, you see this crop of plants from a distant i thought was lavender but upon closer inspection it looked just like this plant (Phacelia tanacetifolia). Thanks guys & girls

You know what, i think you might be right. The way it was growing looks similiar, the habitat is similiar, the locations is excellent, and the soil was nutrient rich.
