I happened to walk past a planter on Euston Rd that had a lot of weeds, including nipplewort, in all stages of its development so thought it would be interesting to have a look at it.
initial nipplewort rosette

second rosette with additional leaves

3rd nipplewort rosette, thick with leaves

4th photo with the nipplewort as a small plant with larger leaves rather than just a low rosette

5th photo with longer thinner leaves at the top of the nipplewort plant and flower buds (not to be confused with the smooth sow thistle behind inc its darker leaf on the left)

6th photo with a taller nipplewort plant and a number of flower buds, clear longer thinner leaves

7th photo with the first nipplewort flower in bloom and additional buds, The differently shaped leaves going up the plant are clearly visible.
