So for ages I've been wondering what this is... it grows so tall and dare I say it... I thought it was just a nice looking weed. Checked #plantid and now think it's a purple toadflax. So helpful!

I'm a big fan too and feel guilty for thinking it was a weed haha 😜@susieg and @Jasonsparkes1. It's so striking with its tall shoots 🌿 πŸ’œπŸŒΏ

Don't feel guilty Alisa. A weed is just a plant in the wrong place 😊 @Jasonsparkes1

Haha thank you @susieg and @Jasonsparkes1. Great to get your perspectives 😊 I think I'll leave it be as I quite like it and great to help out the bees 🐝

It appeared in my garden last year and I loved it and thought it was a great addition to the border gut it disappeared this yearπŸ˜’

Ah that's a shame @valjones-hughes. Hope it comes back for you next year.
