    I really don't get alchemilla mollis.  One specimen would be a PITA for me.
    The joy of forget me nots is pulling them out after a few weeks a nd finding all that planting space underneath. I wouldn't be without them but they call after two or three weeks. I'm glad to see them go and glad to see them come back.
    My garden is full of pulmonaria and full of bees on the pulmonaria. I wish I had less of it.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I don't understand pulmonaria. But I like the golden fluff of alcoholic mollies

    I quite like pulmonaria.  Like the way the flowers change colour and the spots on the leaves.  I increased my stock last year by division... O Oh!! 😄

    Pulmonaria are not the prettiest plant but They're heaving with bees. TBH I don't really like them but I leave them until there's others things to replace them.

    I find the colour of the leaves  of AM jars with the colour of the flowers. I really dislike the khaki green of the leaves There's too much yellow in it. I don't get  that jewels after rain thing. The shape of the leaves offends too. All in all, they're not for me😊

    Campanula.
    Which one? I have a feeling that the one I have is slowly creating clones of itself…..
    There are over a thousand species! So, it's mat-forming, pale blue individual cup shaped flowers. Possibly the Wall Bellflower, or similar. I think all of it is the original plant, but once it reaches a new area it detaches. You can turn one mat into twenty separate plants just by walking on it.

    I like the campanula that grows out of a crack in my front wall. I've tried to get it to grow elsewhere but it either doesn't take off or the slugs get it.

    Small ground covering sedum I grew as ground cover hoping to stop weeds. I think it’s weaving an impenetrable mat that might need pulling up just like the common pink geranium. More trouble than it’s worth.
