Allotments 4 All

Hi i just found this plant growing in one of my raise beds. It doesn't appear to be rare in the UK except NI and less common in Scotland or up north.

Did find out due to modern farming methods it is starting to decline. So I'm loath to yank it out. i will most likely let it set seed but will sprinkle seed on the edge of the foot paths and in my flower beds.

haven't got a clue how it got here though but one probable way is the bed i found it in was bought top soil., that bed is also full of field poppies so maybe it came from a farmers field.

Lovely to see this, I haven't seen it since I was a child in North Wales.  I remember picking it to use in a miniature flower arrangement for the local show.

would you like me to collect some seeds for you?

That would be lovely thank you, I have a small wildflower area - latest development some harebells, another childhood favourite.

i'll pm you when the seed is collected.
