hi guys need some help, i bought a shake and rake wild flower box to try on a small unused patch infront of my garden window, as the seeds took and grew into beautiful flowers such as ornimental poppies, borage and marigolds there were a few flowers that were a mystery, one of which was a tall skinny plant that produced rows of flowers much in the same way as a fox glove would of tiny purple iris like flowers that when died off produced a seed pod like a pea, hopefully someone will know what im talking about. Thanks

guess number one
Linaria purpurea, purple toadflax
In the sticks near Peterborough
i did look for that but also tried searching to see if it produced a seed pod but couldnt find anything about the seeds
No, they don't have pods like peas Karl. One of the vetches maybe or a lupun relative
In the sticks near Peterborough
Sounds like a vetch.
don't know if this link will work. It's a guide to british wild flowers
