Wood Avens.

Aha, that’s it!
I put this one up for identification a few years ago too and Clare also told me! I’ve been wracking my brain since I saw it this afternoon. My memory is so poor now. :shock:

Happy to help. It is my day job after all :)

It is a much taller one than the usual one seen lurking in the flower beds.

thank you so much clareandco and Emma for the thinking time! . It is strangling my dandelions in pots, (good soil , only the best so probably will grow to gigantic proportions then Clare!), so will probably dig it out - which is sad as weeds do have their place but tried it on torts (after seeking advice from Tort Table site)and they weren't keen - does say its bitter.

What a lovely name it has I wish my middle name was that, CB
