What's this orange flower please?  A couple have appeared in my garden this year, not seen them before. One's in the middle of my strawberries!

    It could be either of these wild flowers called Fox & Cubs (Pilosella aurantiaca) or Orange Hawkweed which is from the same family - it might also be the same flower 😂 I’m sure someone with greener fingers than me will be along soon, either way it looks lovely and I’d keep it 😊

    That's the one, if it's not going to go too rampant I think I'll move it. I'm trying to create a border with orange as the main colour so it can go there.

    On the weed theme, I dug this out, can somebody please confirm it was a weed?

    Possibly something in the nightshade family?
    But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,
    Had the whole of their cash in his care.

    That was my instinct, particularly when I saw the roots.

    Circaea lutetiana, known as broad-leaved enchanter's nightshade, is a plant in the evening primrose family 😊

    Be careful with that one, or soon your garden will be overrun with enchanters

    It will become rampant but fortunately easy to remove. The flower heads turn into clocks like dandelions.
