another name this plant ...

[peridito]

A large nos of these appeared all over allotments near my friend .

She grew a couple from seed for me .

We don't know what they are .I've done a lot of googling and am wondering if some kind of escaped/wild african daisy .

The flowers open and close ,I noticed that they had closed the other day about 4.30pm while it was still light .

When the plant is young it looks just like grass .Has flowered in this it's second year .Very tall ,5' ?

Friend says it has a long tap root - wonder if she'll remain my friend when garden overrun .

Any ideas ?

Salsify. Seeds like dandilions than blow all over the place.

So quick and so right !

Thank you .

Bet make sure I deadhead .

I think it’s lovely but yes definitely one to deadhead

And enjoy eating that lovely long tap root!
