Hello,
Can anyone identify this plant. It has been popping up all over the place, and dh suspects a rather vigorous annual of some sort. The bees love it at the moment, but I don't want the whole garden over-run with it!

Pull it out before it seeds or you'll be seeing it every year for the rest of your life!

Just watch out as it's sap can burn your skin!

Biennial. Flowers in the second year. I usually leave just one plant in a not too inconvenient place, to make sure I don't lose it completely.

Yes, reactive sap and they're not real capers! Don't eat them!
