Spotted a few of these today, quite large, about 20-25 cm high and 6 cm across. Anyone know what they are? (please don't say dandelion  )  |

if it's big it's likely to be Goatsbeard- the seeds are 1cm+ long and pale to dark brown, with longwise ridges as far as I can remember.
If you thought 'cor that's massive' (or words to that effect) when you saw it then yes it's Goatsbeard! |

Actually I was struck by the symmetry of it not just the size. On second thought it was nearer 10cm across.
Definitely looks like Goatsbeard, thanks for the id help. |

I remember seeing some of those last year ... and was also struck by the symmetry. Now I know what they were
