Alexanders (Smyrnium olusatrum) grow to a height of around 1.25m on cliffs and other coastal sites including waste ground and roadside verges as here in the Newport Wetlands National Nature Reserve. I always seem to miss them in full flower. Here there were only one or two plants with yellow flowers. But I very much like the way the ripening seed heads and stalks look. Some of the seeds are turning red and eventually will be black.

Interesting plant! It doesn’t grow this far North (Orkney). Scots lovage seed heads were turning red here today, I noticed.;it’s common along the shore( if sheep are excluded).

Thank you, Eoin. Although I spent a few weeks in Orkney some years ago, I did not notice the Scots Lovage. I guess my attention was elsewhere. It is similar in many ways to Alexanders isn’t it?
