Fumaria Capreolata - White Ramping Fumitory
©Copyright nansgarden.blogspot.com
While strolling around the Junction I came upon this unusual flower the likes I had never seen before. So I decided to take a photo of it and try to have it identified on the garden forum of which I'm a member. There are many knowledgeable members, that are only too willing to help out others where ever possible. Within a very short time of posting my request to have the plant identified I had the answer, Fumaria Capreolata annual herbaceous weed, it is rare and found predominantly in non-agricultural areas.
