Rosebay willowherb??

Yo!
So, I reckon this is rosebay willowherb, but not 100% sure.
What do you think?
I had loads of this last year, but I think I am making progress by pulling it out as soon as I see it.
If left, it gets little pink or purple flowers from what I can remember. I haven't let any get to that stage for ages now though.
Any views on it? It's blooming annoying

 

I'd say definitely one of the willowherbs.

Personally I don't mind the willowherbs. They're flowers for free with no effort from me. Hey, that rhymes, it seems I'm a poet and I didn't even know it.

I do pull out loads of them when they're flowers finish though, if they're in my way as I start one my my infinite number of new projects.

 

Oh, I nearly forgot to say, all your efforts to eradicate them are almost certainly futile anyway. You've seen how they set seed. They produce thousands upon thousands of seeds that blow in the air. Even if you could completely get rid of them from your territory, they'd just blown in from outside anyway.

 

Well, I still get is as you can see, but it is slowing down in its appearance
Advice to anyone who doesn't want it.....pull it out as soon as spotted (shallow roots). Don't let it flower!

 

Definitely not Chamerion angustifolium....Rosebay willow herb.

Possibly Epilobium parviflorum. Flowers would help. But best weeded out before they flower!

I think the flowers look like the ones very low down on this photo

Not sure how to embed someone else's pic

Think I have it
Epilobium obscurum!! Spelling?

 

It definitely looks like the first photo on this website link. Compare it to my first photo I took

I think it's one of the soft leaved willowherbs, a complete weed but there are worse ones. Rosebay willowherb is a great plant, turns the countryside red-pink in August, well worth having. But not this one.

 

We get these come up all the time in the garden and pots and not too sure what they are but I am sure they are not a willowherb.I just pull them out and compost them and just assume they have been dropped by the birds from the seed I buy for them.Never left one long enough to flower so not even sure what the flowers look like.

 

If you grow Fuchsias try to get rid of them as they are a carrier for rust and it can be very hard yo eradicate completely. PS, something you may not know is that they are a member of the same family as fuchsias. (Along with evening primrose,clarkia and godetia).

 

I had a lot of these last year but thankfully didn't let any set seed. Hopefully they'll be a few less this year!
