I think it was Verdun who made the ID, but ot stuck in my mind because id never seen it until they planted it in the village, i wondered what it was til the other week
No, i dont think so, i dont usually like Euphorbia, but recognise it, this stuff looked very much like this pic but had a little stick down the middle of each plant, they were at the back of a load of bedding gerainiums. I was quite supprised, because ive never seen gypsophilia either
It is of course possible that whoever named it on that thread was wrong and im just regurgitating the wrong info!
I just found the thread, think it's the one you mean- I can't do links but I searched gypsophila and found it. It's by Pilgrim Pete.
The leaves look very similar but the habit looks different- mine has two stems and that one seems to have many thin stems all tangled together...
Ive got a feeling that Edd is correct and it's some horrid Canadian Fleabane - at the first IDable flower it's getting flattened... If it came from the southern nursery and it isn't yet up this far north I feel I have a duty to smash it up
Are you sure it's a wanted plant? Looks like a weed I get which then has lots of little white flowers which turn into fluff like mini dandelion seeds, then they float all over the garden seeding themselves. Sorry, don't know it's name.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Cheers KEF, yes, I really don't think it is a liatris. Also this plant has a fuzzy stem and smooth leaves and liatris seem to be the other way around. There are similarities though.
I am growing it on out of curiosity Bekkie; at least to confirm it's Edd's weed. I've potted it up and it's sat next to the bins I won't let it seed though... Grows freakily fast...but it's possible I fed it you know - can't believe I didn't notice it was a different plant

I really don't know Bekkie, I don't think I've ever seen gypsophila apart from in a florist. When I google the image I can't make out the foliage...

That sounds like the conyza canadensis that Edd suggested Busy Lizzie?
And it grew very fast which makes me think weeeed
I've been out and taken a pic of my Liatris and it doesn't look like your plant Vic. I'll post a pic later when I've uploaded them.
Soz fuzzy photo. Liatris just to right of centre.
