Hi teresa,

Have you got a 'photo of the horseradish in flower?  It is something, in all my gardening years, I can honestly say I have never seen.  I really would appreciate a picture,

Bright yellow, rather daisy-like flowers. I don't have a pic, unfortunately.

this seems to be a small plant, my leaves reach 3-4ft tall the flower spike clears the leaves then the clusters of flowers open from the bottom going up the stem. When a breeze comes it sways and the leaves move quite stunning.
