Another that's not cannabis...

Despite it's species name - Eupatorium cannabinum. Mentioned in DianaS's post - http://www.eos-magazine-forum.com/sh...ower-ID-please - Common Hemp Nettle with its hemp/cannabis type leaves, and here's another.
This is Hemp Agrimony -



Not an impressive shot - on a dull, windy day.

But, I do like the flower heads close-up - they look chaotic in a strange spiky way -



The flowers vary in colour from a deeper pink to almost pure white, earning it its other name of "Raspberries and Cream".

I planted this around my duck pond - it is wonderful to attract bees and insects -BUT - it spreads like mad with its fluffy seeheads and thereatened to take over our garden for a while - I now chop it down before it seeds!
