Hardly wild flowers but I've just been in the garden picking more sweet peas and noticed two petunias,just in bud,and three lobelia,which I certainly didn't plant! The ones I did plant are in urns a long way from these. I wonder how these things occur?
The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
Thank you for all your helpful and informative comments, I will certainly encourage them to return next year, either by cutting down after flowering or collecting the seeds. I must check out the insect interest in them though. At present in the wild flower area the poppies, knapweed and thistles appear to be attracting the majority of the insects although there are plenty of other interesting plants (and weeds) that I have to admit I am unable to name.
