Growing tall: dyer's rocket flowering

The long thin flower spike of a dyer’s rocket plant. Before the development of synthetic dyes, the plant used to be grown for the bright yellow colouring which can be extracted from it.

These pictures taken earlier this week, the plant growing by West Park pool.
