I did think it was the same as this, but the leaves are different so anyone know what this is too?

Worth it for the seed pods too:

So when they are ripe, so them somewhere a bit more convenient.

Whilst walking the dog down the river, I saw meadow saxifrage - a few years ago they did some work down there to improve and they now manage it like a meadow and the variety of wildlife increases year on year. I am a bit taken with the saxifrage so will be keeping an eye on it for when it seeds.

Oh, and I also spotted a fly tipper and have reported it to the council!!!

aaaah! that makes sense....
when we were clearing the garden we found lots of honesty seed pods but I had never seen the plant in flower before
Thanks Ade

Now, mr guru, what about the bottom piccy? could it be mallow or is it just some ugly weed

Ooh sorry - never looked at the bottom photo, assumed it was a third aspect of the same plant. No, not mallow, probably scrawny weed but without a flower, tis difficult. I will consult my tomes.

And you need to update your avatar caption to site mad prof and very very clever self-appointed guru

that bottom leaf looks like mallow. If it's honesty you'll soon know cos you get those flat translucent seed pods

flowers don't look particularly mallow though

Are we helping

Bottom one isn't mallow or honesty:
Mallow:

Mallow leaves are more deeply lobed whereas that is shallowly lobed and sinnuated/serrated.

i have looked and I definitely need flowers to be sure of what it is. In fact, I was so unsure of what it might be, I have forgotten what it might be and will have to start again

I dunno what it is but I've got some as well... And if i've got some, it's got to be weeds
Are we helping?

yes, you are

I am totally chuffed that the first picture is honesty.
And I am totally confident that should the other plant produce a flower, I can put a piccy on here and get an identification

you're all pretty wonderful (and mad)

oh and Dom, I've got Speedwell ....................is that its name, oh heck I think its that, the one you posted a piccie of somewhere...............................I've got it everywhere , very pretty though ..........and I know this is completely off track but I've got brambles everywhere too, even found one growing up trough the middle of the lawn Oh and that sticky stuff, whats that called then

oops sorry Tara I'm not very good with anything that flowers so haven't a clue chuckles

I know exacatically what Del means ...just the name escapes me right now We need a guru

honey dew

sticky buds (cleavers) you can make medicine out of it cos it's healthy. Just ask any grazing animal

can't think of any other sticky plants. Second thoughts calendula flowers are sticky, but I digress

its not the one with round things on, they are leafy

Tis cleavers
