Unusual crop
8 Answers
On the London side of the M25, between J7 and J8, there is a field planted with a crop. Whatever it is has a green stem and then bluey-mauve flowers. The field quite large and stretches up the side of a hill and the bluey-mauve flowers look really unusual.
Anyone know what crop this might be?
