    Hi nannyc. It is Himalayan Balsam which seeds itself everywhere. Luckily the seedlings are easy to pull out.

    Now the ID has been solved can I ask what does the BIU at the top of the thread mean?  I've seen it posted a couple of times before and I'm flummoxed. image

    B is for BOLD I is for ITALICS and U is for UNDERLINED. Try it when you next write a message by clicking on whichever appearance you want in your message. I've seen people put that in their posts - not sure why really image

    I guess that the forum designers thought we might like to underline something important or shout something in bold like I can't wait for 9:00 tonight or to write something beautiful like Aidan Turner. I actually don't get it myself really. I prefer the geek meaning - Bus Interface Unit.
