I don't know how we missed these.... the oldest one has been there for at least a couple of years. All six were removed this morning. At least we caught them before this year's seed set!

Thanks Con - great effort - yeah it is funny how they hide until in flower - I first removed broom from this location 40 years ago and from memory it was many tens of plants, great that we are keeping it to a low level
