      This is a rare arable weed. Do you know its provenance? For instance whether it has been sown or is growing naturally? Either way, a record should be sent to the County recorder of the Botanical Society of the British Isles ( www.bsbi.org.uk/ )

      Sorry Bob. I have just visited the new Photographic Guide group to see that you are its admin, and therefore know all about recording.

      Great detail against a super background.

      Thanks Peter - already contacted South Somerset's BSBI Recorder.
