    Oh, my I am sorry I missed this, back to my duty, sir!!

    Looks like a Persicaria to me, what species I do not know. Google for pics there are hundreds out there.

    SOme consider it a weed because it can be pretty vigourous (erm, invasive), but it is a lovely plant in my opinion.

    isnt a weed any plant you just dont want there? I mean I'm after adding daisies and buttercups to my lawn and to many these two flowers are considered weeds - but I happen to really like the look of the flowers :)

    though saying that I cant think of a single instance where someone would want dandelions lol :p

    Red legs, but I could be wrong, maybe they have more of a blotch than an actual striation
