Weld Conf.

Is this weld or mignonette?

It was very tall if it helps.

[leifus]

definately mignonette

Oh, I thought Weld, Reseda luteola
[Mignonette family (Resedaceae)].
I looks just like it.

weld for me too, I can't make out any pinnate leaves and the flowers are less showy, leaves look more strap like and glossy like weld.

(I remember it by weld having had its pinnate leaves 'welded' together into a strap)

They are very similar but I'm going on the leaves here. Weld has basal leaves and the wild mignonette has pinnate leaves with wavy ends

i might be corrected after all that but thats what i think

and of course it would be very handy if we had a leaf shot and close up of the flower

[KeenTeen17]

dont have one of the leaf but I do the flower

KT's first pic looks fairly normal for the weld plants I come across of brownfield sites.

as for your two pics, I think you have those labelled correctly though the view of weld you have is shot from an unusual angle for me.... looks almost like giant greater plantain!
