    Weed ID please

    Hi all,

    I meant to take and post this when they were tiny and looked exactly like carrots. I'm now thinking they're stickyweed? They're everywhere!!

    Thank you

    Queen Anne's Lace?

    but could also be...
    Feathery leaves resemble those of the domestic carrot. The bases of leafstalks are broad and flat. Queen Anne’s lace leaves also closely resemble the leaves of the poison hemlock, fool’s parsley and water hemlocks, all poisonous cousins of Queen Anne’s lace.

      Nigella--love in a mist. They do self seed prolifically.

        Unfortunately I can't remember the name of it and I only managed to find one baby but think they are the same. I do have pics in flower though.

          A Fumitory? Here's one but there are others.

            Corydalis? Although possibly not as I think they grow from corms not carrot shaped roots.

            Endless wonder.

              Apparently there are annuals, perennials and corms in the family. Mine are annual, but prolific (and yes I know I shouldn't have them flowering as that is the case ). Will take some pics tomorrow of roots just to make sure.

                I think they are Californian Poppy seedlings (Eschscholzia).

                  I'd go with the wild carrot, Queen Annes Lace. I'm pulling them from all over the plots. I don't think that they're cleavers not Californian Poppies (which I keep pulling from the garden at home)

                    You can ignore my suggestion. Didn't take pics but pulled some up and the roots are cylindrical i.e. the sides run parallel rather than tapering in.

                      Well, interesting responses thank you everyone - I might leave them until I get to digging that bit and see what happens. There are a lot of californian poppies round here and a couple elsewhere in the garden so that's a possibility - and one I'd be ok with.

                      If its one of the others goodness knows where they've come from!
