    Anyonne know what the pink flowering weed currently in abundance in Wicklow along roadsides, railway lines and waste ground is. Seems to be very invasive. I've seen a field pure pink with it. About 1.5 metres tall and very noticable. Coming out of flower now with long seed pods. It's not balsam weed but looks similar from a distance.

    That's it alright. Seems to be a lot more plentiful this year.

    It favours areas with recently disturbed ground. It was one of the first plants to grow in the ruins following WW2 bombing of British cities.
