    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can identify this plant please? It's randomly started to grow near my front door. Google is coming up with a few different plants.
    Thanks in advance ☺️

      Yes Herb Robert, it's a wild flower (or weed if you want to call it that) I always leave some in odd corners of my garden because I think it's quite pretty, but it can become a nuisance if you don't control it.

                I leave some of them too. Agree, they're easy to pull out.

                  They were also used as an old traditional medicine. You can easily find info on the internet.

                        I have a few growing between the paving slabs. They are quite pretty. Good to know what they are.
