Weed ID

[Rae]

is this edible?



Cant tell what this is! It feels kind of soft but not furry as such! Was in a small clump!

Thanks guys! x

Rae, the first one looks like a dandylion...edible but in moderation. I would only feed them once a week, or something. High in oxalates.
The 2nd....mmm...um..could it be a dock leaf?? See what others say as my weed ID is a bit pish really...
Although if I get the 2nd right I might have to run round the room squealing with delight... (in work)!!
(Im joking...as that would be a tad sad.)

[Rae]

I thought Dock Leaf too but then found an actual dock leaf and its nothing like it! Haha! Guess you wont get that opportunity to run round work squeeling altho i think you should do it anyway! :P and if anyone asks what was that about just go .... what? sorry i dont know what your talking about and give them and really dodgy look!! hahahaha! x

no1 deffo dandilion, no 2, not sure. it's better to see the whole plant, preferably in situ for an ID

[Alan1]

number 2 I don't know. need to see whole plant in its surroundings really. beware of it being primrose or primula or young foxglove

[Rae]

Ok i shall take a pic of it as is tomorrow! x

aye they churn the leaves until they are all cheesey and small enough to fit in a tube
