Hi all
So these 'little' bad boys have popped up in my front garden and, whilst I know they are plants (tee hee!) I don't know what they are. Please can you help
Many thanks
Top one - Ceranthus ruber?
Bottom One - I need help too
Top is Centranthus ruber known as valerian. good for bees
Bottom is Alliaria petiolata, jack by the hedge, one of the food plants for orange tip butterflies.
Centranthus ruber
garlic mustard or jack by the hedge
Valerian as in the stuff cat's go bonkers for as an alternative to catnip? Will have to look into getting some myself.
Second picture looks like a Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica). Carefully dig it out before the roots spread too far!
No, scott, leaves similar, flower nothing like.
On closer inspection I agree with the view that its jack by the hedge
Not a stinging nettle, very different flowers

Thanks
Do you want to play 20 guesses where Jack by the hedge is growing?
Is it in the middle of the lawn Panda
