Can anyone tell me what this is. I just spotted it along the path when going for a walk. I saw a few on them, and I'm sure I've never seen one before.

Um.....

Maybe we should start guessing what hedgerow flowers are out now?Grin

I reckon it's Hawthorne.

Dandelion?

To be fair I think op's got another thread with a photo 😀

I've answered on OP's other thread with the pic - I think it could be Purple Viper's Grass - Scorzonera purpurea.

I reckon salsify (only by googling scorzonera and accidentally finding a picture on the same page subsistencepatternfoodgarden.blogspot.co.uk/2009/06/other-roots.html )
