Imagine the number of people who handle monkshood, from propagation to nursery staff moving them, sticking them on vans, drivers unloading them, GC staff unloading and getting them out for sale, and customers handling them, check out staff handling them.
If it were as dangerous as some folk say, Garden Centres would be like mortuaries
I had these germinate from the pot I put your seeds in Lyn...(not the cosmos thing)
I'm not sure if they are aconitum, does anybody know? Reason I'm a bit unsure is they came up a lot like astrantia seedlings do...and some other things came up in the pot but got eaten when very small...
I got a small clump of this plant from a garden of a closed ward at my work recently thinking it was some type of geranium, it has now grown to about four feet high, now I know what it is it's getting dug out first chance I get because we have a dog, not the best plant to be grown in a mental health ward garden

They look like conitum to me Vic.
I intended to ask you for some of those Lyn, but I never go round to it
In the sticks near Peterborough
Hmmm...maybe half and half
They're not as dark as the astrantia leaves have turned but not similar to my other aconitums...
I'll grow them on of course - shall I send one back Lyn?
It could have been eaten by anything in my garden pansyface
The brown one will take a bite out of anything though - even me sometimes
I think astrantia seedlings have a more angular look to them.

I do love the aconitum in my garden, so pretty but also kind of sinister
