Hmm, so what things does one grow where you do not normally allow them to flower? Perhaps not even in the flower border.

A weed is merely a plant in the wrong place. This was in the right place, last year, but not in the right place this. However, since it germinates better from fresh seed rather than bought, we are leaving it to see what happens.
so, how many Vegetables are there in the Asteraceae?

What a shame RF - it looks lovely, is it all one plant, the foliage, white and pink flowers?

This may take a while to find something not too obvious and not too obscure.
