This is growing in the middle of a patch of wild flowers, I dont have a clue what it is, can anyone identify it ?





Its currently about 5 feet tall.

Wild mustard, an escaped rape seed maybe.

[Mr GrimNasty]

Yes it looks like a Brassicaceae i.e. mustard/cabbage/rape family, but what exactly I couldn't guess.

Yup Rapeseed. Get loads in my garden each year, carried in from the near by fields.

It is surprising how far this will travel with the wind. I get some in my garden sometimes and the nearest field growing it is quite some distance - far further than the experts would have you believe it is capable of travelling.

Definately not rape. No seedpods and leaves are much to big for commercial rape.

[Mr GrimNasty]

The flowers haven't even opened yet - the seed pods will come. There are several different types of rape, but I'm not entirely convinced either. Definitely the right family though. As for seeds travelling miles, that's birds, not wind!

[Toyowner]

Flowers are out now,will get pic up tomorrow.

I did sow a number of wild flower seed packets into this bed.
