What do you reckon to this 'wild flower'

If you don't get an ID here, blueb, may I post your pic on Twitter's #wildflowerhour (8-9pm tonight). It'd then be exposed to a lot of very knowledgeable botanists.

Or you could post it yourself if you have a Twitter account.

Oops - sorry Baggs - that was your picture

BlueBelle, could you post some pictures without your hands in? Sorry to be picky - you have very nice hands! I'm intrigued by this. I follow #wildflowerhour too.

It is not Himalayan Balm, which is now a listed weed and must not be cultivated, and is illegal to allow itto spread. I get the same plant in my garden and it spreads very easily if you keep it, fortnately it pulls out easily! From the picture it does looks like Great willowherb. Epilobium hisutum.

It does look like an Epilobium, but hirsutum is hairy and from the photos, it doesn't look like it has hairy stems/leaves.

First of all I don't Twitter so please feel free to use the photo under your Twitter name Baggs
Maranta I ll try for a better pic tomorrow at the moment it's gale force winds and pouring rain and the poor flowers are practically hiding ?
It was the hairy stem that fooled me too it's not hairy at all

Well I got my fingers out of the way for the pic I think it must be willow herb but very definitely smooth stems not a hair in sight
Did you have any luck with the Twitter last night

I agree, it's definitely a willowherb.

It looks like Great Willowherb (as opposed to the Rose bay willowherb seen everywhere). It's definitely not balsam. We have acres of the stuff growing by our river. It has got completely out of control in the last five years and is invading everywhere.
