Plant ID Help Please

 I have a few of these appearing. The OH seems to think it's a weed, but I've been unable to identify it. Any ideas?

Thanks

It's definitely one of the Willowherbs, probably Broad-leaved or possibly Rosebay.  If you let it seed, it will pop-up everywhere!

Willow herb,it's a weed pull it out asap, grab hold as near to the ground as possible and the whole thing complete with roots should come out in one.

Take a look here-- WWW.theseedsite.co.uk/weeds4.html

The right hand picture  will help you  indentify it while still small and gets chance to flower and go to seed.

That's a shame, it's quite pretty!

OK, thanks very much for the help

If I have a pretty wildflower in the garden I leave it there, why would you want to get rid of it if you like it!!

A weed is a flower in the wrong place,
according to poet Ian Emberson - and I agree with him!

Very true,but how many flowers do you want in the wrong place,this one can spread very rapidly

Yes, you do have to be careful to know your flowers' little habits. I was given some pink Japanese anemones 20 years ago. They still pop up from time to time in the paving even though I have tried to get rid of them on many occasions
