OK,

Got this monster growing this year very close to the bird tables we put a bought mix of seeds on, I aint got a clue what it is, but got a feeling it'll take over if we leave it,

If I pull off the imature seed heads or indeed cut it anywhere it drips with a milky white sap.

I get the feeling if this seeds all over I'll be pulling it up for years, large proud plant though sort I like.

caper spurge, considered a weed, possibly poisinous, pull it up before it sets seed

No Ratdog,

The big balls (I switched the web cam off this time ) are the seed heads I think, the Bees are going for the smaller "folds" in the top of the plant, this is why I think it might be a very invasive weed, I have never seen it before any where, I got not big problems with invasive weeds as they are easy to pull out, I love Himalayan balsam some think it's a problem plant but when you HEAR the seed pods split on a quiet night I have to respect the plant and it's will to live.

Thank you very much my new friend,

And welcome aboard 420

A quick gooooogle has found Euphorbia Lathyris just about a direct match, if you want to know about growing your own herbs ask Ratdog

Thanks people,

JOM

E2a oops!, Cheers JOM

milky white sap? could it be a young mayonaise plant?
