Enchanter's nightshade

I was feeling really blipstuck today, my mojo seems to have once again left me and I feel I really need another adventure to reboot it!
Unfortunately there was no adventure on the horizon today so I have had to settle for a quick blip from my garden!
This is Enchanter's nightshade, probably broad-leaved Enchanter's nightshade Circaea lutetiana, a common little 'weed' that reproduces by producing burrs that readily adhere to clothing, feathers and fur.
Circaea is in the family Onagraceae, which includes willowherbs, fushsias and evening primrose, it is not related to the nightshade family which contains among others Deadly nightshade and Bittersweet.
All in all another quite pretty and overlooked beauty.
