    Hi Chris 8. It looks like Ragwort but a forum member @nutcutlet is the person to speak to as she is wonderful at identifying our native wild flowers. I have tagged her name so she will know that someone has mentioned her and hopefully come to take a look.

    Hi Thanks , I hope not ragwort !! , I have pulled up plenty of that in the past it doesn’t look like any that I’ve seen before 🤷🏻‍♂️ Red stems and fern like leaves hopefully @nutcutlet can help 👍👍

    There was a post a little while ago with what I think is the same plantas yours which is Erodium Moschatum or Musk Storksbill.

    Is it something like a false carrot? I don't remember its official name.
