That ragwort leaves and poppy leaves look very similar in young plants and had to pull up all the 'self-seeded poppies' yesterday when they revealed themselves to be yellow weeds.

I did know that ragwort was originally first planted in this country in the Oxford botanical garden in the 1600s. I'm not sure how long it took to migrate to Cambridge but I'm betting that it was only marginally slower than the X5.

Ragwort = yellow, pretty, & deadly poisonous to cows (or was it horses? -- anyway, I remember pulling it up from the sides of fields on the farm where we used to spend the summer when I was little).

I didn't know about it being planted in the botanical garden though!
