Walking home by some large limestone walls I noticed some little plants growing from the cracks. The flowers smell like vanilla 
does anyone know what they are? I'm thinking of collecting some seed!

Oooh ! I love these.
Erinus alpinus...Fairy foxgloves!
They love old lime mortar in walls.

Excellent, thanks so much for that
A plant I spend a great deal of time weeding out. Also comes in deeper pink (Dr Hanele) and white.
