Great Willowherb Willowherb family
Epilobium hirsutum Onagraceae

Great (or Hairy) Willowherb grows in damp places such as marshes and riverbanks, but also in drier places such as waste ground.
Its alternative name of Codlins-and-Cream derives from the combination of its rosy petals and cream-coloured stamens and stigma (codlin is an old word for cooking apple).
