A plant dug up from the garden grass

Will be keeping more weeds, the leaves on them look really nice and there’s no reason they can’t be houseplants, this one is a Common Ragwort and I’m waiting on a prickly sow to seed so I can add that too.

I decided to grow and take care of some plants as a thing to do while I wait for some medical/financial stuff to get back into order, thriving right now on my windowsill next to a false dandelion which is growing tall!

This one is a common ragwort, makes yellow flowers and has pretty leaves, I even managed to find someone with a huge bush of this plant in their garden that they had for 4 years now passing by it all the time, I heard they are supposed to flower once after two years and die so that’s an unusual exception.

I bet this plant will die after I begun taking care of it (a meta within gardening) as it has been mowed over repeatedly and survived for many years but the plant a few days after this picture looks a lot healthier but no new leaves so there’s hope, trying to grow out some roots as I snapped a few of them taking it out of the ground.

I’m going to be the alternative and grow plants that aren’t meant to be grown as houseplants (except ivy and other climbing vines) because the leaves they put out can be very unique and sometimes a red version grows out which looks even cooler which one industrial estate building has loads of in an unmaintained area, this will be my first plant I save from it’s doom in the garden and there will be many more.
