    EBF, are you referring to Red Dock? Rumex aquaticus.
    Sow thistle...Sonchus arvensis...
    Watercress...Nasturtium officinale
    ...amitie, respect mutuel et amour...

    Mountain tutu - Coriaria Plumose

    Not to be confused with Archbishop Desmond Tutu

    tx EeeBees, re Dock, don't think so, more likely to be Native (flexuosus) or Common (obtusifolius), will check with a botanist friend

    Sorry to contradict you, Dundee but I think that is fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) not to be confused with the culinary version Florence Fennel! This is Hemlock...I have seen it growing in NZ but cannot recall where!

    EeeBees when was the last time you were called a lad?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Jeez you fellah's and fellesses know some stuff. Your brains must be hurting all the time with that much information crammed in them. I make it a habit to deliberately forget everything I learn by permanently deleting it from my memory. That way my head never hurts but the trade off is I know fuck all about anything.

    In the spirit of paying it forward and all that, I have a copy each of Andrew crowe, Native Trees and Native Shrubs. Very handy pocket sized guides.
