islandgun Posted August 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) You are probably right JDog, although the stem isnt purple and the leaves dont look quite right.. Im wondering Angelica sylvestris ? I have loads of it growing wild, far from any cultivated spp. heres a picture of stem edit to say theres a smallish island in the sound of Harris covered in the stuff Edited August 24, 2019 by islandgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
