Lesser Burdock

A plant I must admit I am not familiar with, it was growing on the moors and had to ask my brother who is very into gardening if he knew and he didn’t know so he looked it up for me. It is a biennial weed that grows to about 5 ft high and apparently very hard to get rid of. I thought it was pretty and the bees liked it too
Better on black

Thank you for all your lovely comments and favs all are appreciated and welcome.

It's a very pretty colour and has to be worth something if the bees love it!

Lovely!

Lovely bokeh and flowers. If the bees like it it cannot be so bad ;-)

Might be ok for the countryside rather than the garden. Pretty purple flowers. & like @corinnec said, if it attracts bees, it's a good thing.

What an interesting plant. We used to sell dandelion and burdock drinks in our shop when I was a child, but I have never seen the plant before.

Beautiful background blur too

It is very pretty. I wouldn’t think of it as a weed, but maybe it’s invasive.

Lovely color and blur

Lovely capture.

[Casablanca]

Nice! Is that the one they make dandelion and burdock with then?

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely capture. It is big for a weed and if it is invasive I would not like to see it in my small garden.
