Weed identification

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone could help identify this weed in our paddock. Looks like ragwort but it just looks a bit different to what I have seen before?

Many thanks in advance

Im getting serious ear ache of mother about this mystery weed she has growing in her veg garden. I've not spotted in anywhere else on the farm or indeed anywhere ever before.

It grows like stink and seeds in next to no time, last year by may it was a blanket. I think it's come from bird seed but mum's blaming me saying it's from the poultry litter I spread on the garden a couple of years ago.

Galinsoga, gallent soldier, south american, said to be introduced by kew gardens to thames valley nurseries, hence other name Kew weed. Seeds heavy drift only about 10metres, manys seeds set, considerable dormancy. Bird seed most likely, also occasional contaminant of garden seeds.

I only have your post pic to go on, so please look it up further with one in your hand for comparison.
I've just had a Google and I'm afraid it's not what you thought it was. The flowers are different to arch angel.

Bingo!!!! That's the kiddy!!!! Google shows it in flower and it's definitely what I've got.[emoji106]
