| | | Flower ID - Red Yarrow?
I had a walk along track towards Pittington today and noticed this plant growing close to the track. There was only this one and another a little further along that I could see. I seems to be Yarrow but red! Its a long way from any garden if, as I suspect , it's an escape   |

Achillea millefolium rubra, red yarrow, I agree. I think it must be a garden culivar. |

There are many Achillea millefolium cultivars, but pink flowered forms are occasionally found in wild populations. |

Thanks for replies. I didn't know there was such a thing either but it looked like Yarrow and was red - Hey Presto! Red Yarrow.
Wouldn't it be nice if all IDs were that simple? | | |
