Hi WAB'ers,
Which wildflower is this one, please? 
It currently stands around 4.8ft tall and has grown these attractive pink flowers.
Which one is it?
Take care,
Jason |

It looks like a Great Willow Herb, Epilobium hirsutum. An alien, I believe. |

I agree it is Great Willowherb - but it is a native species. |

Hope you get something. As you can tell, they're nicely camouflaged when on it! Mind you, if you've got a trap, that doesn't matter. |
