                Not sure what this is, but there was lots of it, dangling over the stream! Lots of different clumps along the stream too.

                IMG_3746.JPG

                Also completely unsure on this one! Didn't have enough thorns/spikes to be a thistle, the leaves below were massive and a bit eaten as well!

                No flowers, but I liked the way the morning light was in this picture: IMG_3748.JPG

                    1st is Himalayan Balsam. You can eat the seed pods, when you put them in your mouth they explode with the heat :yikes:

                    Thanks @Jiffy and @Zigs :)

                    Not doing any exploding seed-podding at the moment - you would need either pole-vaulting skills or a bridge to get over the other side of the stream to them and back!

                          Saw miles Himalayan Balsam last week on a riverside walk. Very invasive :yikes:
