I cannot remember planting them ( no comments please , I am not forgetful about plants ) I do not know what they are but they are very pretty. I'm wondering if there may have been seeds in a pot plant I have planted out . The plants have been growing in 2 separate places about 4 metres apart . They have been there since last Autumn and did nothing much until we had quite a bit of rain a few months ago. They have grown to about 3' high and grow very much like a foxglove. The flowers are as you see, pretty yellow with a darker centre. If they self seed later it will be great as they seem to not be bothered by anything. I also have some lovely wallflowers in a burgundy and a brown/yellow that came up from a lot of old hay bales I was given. It was a nice surprise to see them as there were dozens of them. On asking about where the hay came from, I was told it had been sitting in an old shed for over 20 yrs , so where the hay originally came from ia a mystrey, but I have some nice plants from it. Beats the usual weeds one gets from hay. Happy gardening. |
