I'm very fond of this little weed. It will grow happily in bone dry dust in lightish shade.
But we haven't  been formally  introduced 
Could somebody perform  the introductions?


In London. Keen but lazy.

    You beat me to it @Hostafan1

    a dear old friend of mine … always in Ma’s garden, growing out of broken walls and flagstones. Love it  😍

    Trust me, it will seed everywhere. Mine went from the back garden, under the side gate and across the road to the neighbour's front garden. It was only a brick wall that stopped it taking over the entire neighbourhood. 
    I do like it though  :)

    We have a white flowered version of this.

    Mine stays in the  wheelie bin width passage between our house and next door. In 20 years, it has never ventured beyond the house walls into the full sunlight or under the gate into the back garden. It knows its place.

    @Palustris Not sure but the paler version doesn't seem to set seed as much?
    Some of them are very choice plants, did grow C Baker George a few years ago lovely but disappeared one spring sadly.
