    I just moved in a new house.
    I found this weed growing nearby my gravel path.
    Does anyone know what is it?

    Thanks

    Thank Sal.

    The photo was taken this morning. Apparently the plant bears stems with blue flowers on the top. But this information is not sure!!!

    Thanks Sal

    I think that foliage of rape plant is very similar but not exactly the same.
    The plants I've got have crenate margins. Brassica also has a slightly lobate leaf (by the base) which is not noticeable in my young colony.
    What about bergenias? I tried to look for the root system but couldn't find any useful pictures...
