Hmm, could it be a type of Echinacea? Probably not.

Thanks Annee - some of the pictures are pretty like it - some not. I think we'll have to wait and see what happens. Thanks

Could it be a teasel in its first year - have a look at some of the images further down the page linked to here.

Hi Alison - may be! I hadn't realised teasels were biennials - I think it might be a wait and see situation. Thanks

It looks like West Indian spinach to me, but going to seed a little early, need fast-growing plenty of water and high nitrogen feed.

Taken today... the diagnosis of 'Amaranth' is looking good.... thanks for the suggestions.
