| | | Unknown flower I found this growing on a wall in the Isle of Man. I'd be grateful for help identifying it. Sorry about the quality of the photo. |

| | | Re: Unknown flower It looks like a Cornsalad ( Valerianella sp.) to me - the species can only be told apart by the fruits, so I doubt there's enough detail on your photo to use.
The commonest species, though, is Common Cornsalad Valerianella locusta - unless proven otherwise, that's what any photos I take of them go down as |

| | | Re: Unknown flower I agree with David that it is Cornsalad but down in sunny ol' south west Devon, 99% of the plants are Valerianella carinata and it is unusual to find V. locusta but, as David says, they can only be told apart by the fruits.
