Weed ID, pretty please?

cazzykins · 12-04-2009, 09:05 PM

Went for a walk yesterday and found these 2 that looked interesting! Cant them on the pictures, but I'm not very good at ID'ing!

The first one has really big leaves so I picked a few, I can take another picture of the leaf close up if needs be:

This one I thought was a dandelion at first, but the leaves are different shaped, and it feels kinda fuzzy like felt as aposed to smooth like a dandi leaf:

Thank you! Caz x

1st Dock leaves torts don't eat
2nd one on the right and left Dandilion, three leaves in the middle look like young Docks

Thanks! The second pic, the leaves came from the same plant, which did look like a dandi, but a bit different, it didn't have any flowers or buds on it. (I did put it in the same tub as some dandi leaves so i may have mixed them up by accident - only fed the deffinate dandi leaves to Nigel though!)
Ta again xx

Shepherd's purse is similar to dandelions (also edible I think)

You have to have the whole plant to really ID them. Just odd leaves are very difficult to ID in most cases.
But the top one is dock and toxic.
Not sure what the last one is.
Is that a flower stem coming up the middle?
