Hi, can anyone name this species of tall ruderal? It was photographed on waste ground in November.

Have you got any clearer photos? that one enlarges to a blur for me
In the sticks near Peterborough
Hi, sorry that's the only one I have. The leaves are like rosebay willowherb but I don't think those seeds are right for that. The plant in the centre is the best speciemen, other seedheads are hanging in from the left. Sorry the photo is not upright as well, I'll see if I can straighten it up.
is that any better?
I think that's Reseda luteola, aka weld and several other local names

Brilliant, many thanks.
