    Sorry Dove, I mean the long stem with the fluffy head.

    And the long thin leaves

    Ah!  Silly me 😝 

    🤔 The leaves look a lot like Ribwort plantain … but the flower head doesn’t look quite right …

    I've looked at it again and the head reminds me of a foxglove when the heads are forming. I will leave it and see what happens. It might be a treasure ( or not ) haha..

    It’s a Plantain,  if it seeds you’ll have loads.

    I agree with @Lyn I think the head is just a bit out of focus so doesn't look quite right


    In the sticks near Peterborough

    Could well be … as I said the leaves look like Ribwort …  I’ve not had time to get any new specs for a while 🙄
