Another plant that has popped up in the garden! No flowers as yet, I thought it was an echinops that had self seeded? But the leaves look slightly different?

    Hard to tell from that but the leaves look similar to
    Ox-eye daisies.

    Ahh thanks! A friend said dasies but not the type, I quite like oxeye dasies so they’re not going in room 101😁 or the compost bin!
    Im assuming they’ve self seeded from somewhere?

    They can be invasive and will seed in lawns if you let them but I love them too.

    My children ( @Wonkywomble and her brother)  called them Moon Daisies because of Noggin and the Moon Mouse
