Can't help with the leaves of the top of my head unless it's a mullein. Chris   http://www.planetepassion.com Association Planete Passion - French Wildlife in the English Language    Report

We will have to make the same walk in a few daze (?) to se if it streching skywards? Thanks for the salsify Chris. There is loads of it around here and it seems to be very good for the herbalist.

A very impresive lookng small plant. We will have to keep an eye on it? Edit:- Looing at a coupe of sites it looks a bit too symetrical with those prickly spots on the leaves so possibly not a teasel?? John.
