Re: Delicate flower
I really hope I'm wrong, but they and some of the leaves behind them look somewhat similar to the knotweed that were found in my parents house when we were trying to sell it, and which cost us £15k to pay for systematic removeal and another £90k loss in house value.Really hope I'm wrong!!!!

A common childhood pastime in the UK is to 'pop' the flowers from the sepals while chanting "Granny, granny — pop out of bed".
