    No 1 Centaurea montana (perennial Cornflower)

    No 2 Possibly Stachys sylvatica (Wood Woundwort) ?

    Hi Paul, thank very much for your reply.  I have, just now, googled the names you gave and they're most definitely the same plants I have in my garden.

    The cornflower is, apparently, a "proper" flower, and I've spent the afternoon pulling it up!  The second is referred to as a "herb".  I shall have to research this one further.  I like herbs but this one doesn't impress me much.

    Amazing what the wind brings to our gardens!

    Again, many thanks.

    I think you're right Paul

    Would be surer if they they weren't limp and sad image

    Sorry, Nut.  I'm a hopeless photographer and the sun has been pretty hot today! image

    Growing is always best, camera skills not so important.

    Hedge Woundwort is a great plant for bees.
