Careful!

A lady on Radio 4 Gardeners' Question Time with a similar query was eventually informed that hers was a Cannabis plant.

Go into your keepsafe. Click on the one you want to look at and then copy and paste the heading that comes up as the website address

I am on my I pad at the mo so I had to click on the genes reunited heading and it then came up with the keepsafe ref for one of my photos in there

That's only taking me to the keepsafe General page not to your photo

Clicking then on the heading gives a keepsafe heading but no picture

You need to open the photo then click on the keepsafe heading

Why not send it as an attachment to someone? They could then added it to their Keepsafe.

Your link gives a result of 'Sorry. An error has occurred' which could mean that it's GR's error, rather than yours.

Edit - scrub that!

subtitle, red flower

No idea what it is, but it's very pretty. A weed is a flower growing in the wrong place :-)

Looks like it might be some kind of knapweed

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it Report 28 Sep 2014 11:59

If you goggle knapweed it certainly looks part of that family which is a type of thistle so it's looks like graham and I are on the same page !

It's lovely!

Don't forget, a weed is just something growing in the wrong place.

I have a garden full of weeds - or as others' would call them - Japanese anemonies. :-(

I still haven't forgiven my sister for giving me one plant 10 years ago :-P :-P
It obviously prefers my soil to hers!

it appears to be a Field Thistle,which is much smaller than the big Teasles.
