    Thanks so much to all who've posted. I will leave it until it flowers and then post another photo.

    Found two birds two yellow hammers outside my kitchen window this morning was rather saddened so buried them near my little dog who died.  They looked beautiful and was my mum's favourite bird.

    Could it be Cerinthe ? (Long shot )

    Nope not Cerinthe - something aster- like.

    Sad about the yellow hammers clattnow  image

    No colour yet from the plant/weed - am becoming more convinced it's a weed as it looks like it's about to flower but am now suspected they'll stay green. Will keep you all updated!

    Patience.  Some flowers are green and some start green and then turn white or pink or some other colour.    

    There's a green pom pom chrysanth much loved by flower arrangers and then a cone flower with greenish petals and all sorts of other stuff like Mathiasella bupleuroides 'Green Dream' which Monty planted at Berryfields in a previous incarnation of the GW programme before it went to his own garden.

    Thank you Bob and Ben for your commiserations over the yellow hammers.  Your plant sounds interesting.

    Right clicking and open in a new tab doesn't work for me either.

    Agree it looks like an aster.
