Herbs and Wildflowers

I've got a large patch of dead nettle, which I'm encouraging to spread. I noticed, a few days ago, another plant which I don't recognize growing in the garden. It has pure flowers and leaves look similar to dead nettle. I'll take a pic later. I saw a Bee feeding from it.

primrose. keep forgetting to get them.

Thanks, the big issue is where to put them all. the area in question is size able right now, I am thinking 10 foot by 8 foot flooded with the bulbs. just tons of bulbs under there need to divide. I might give some to neighbors in the green and teach them how to plant them. over the years...

Woo when you go back have a look for nasty thorns. Blackthorn ..Prunus spinosa have them.Your pic looks as if they have a bloom on. A grey layer which gets rubbed off very easily when you touch the fruits. See.OR They could be tiny wild plums...bullace.purple-bullace - Suffolk Flora...

OK @KFF, you're on! However, due to underwhelming demand for tickets for this most desirable of prizes, I'm afraid your ticket will cost £50,000 . You can pay by cheque, cash, or even PayPal!!

I also like Willow HerbAnnual PoppiesNettlesand those plants that come in uninvited via birds, air, rain, etc.

@HarryS Oooooo I doooo LURVE Dandelion & Burdock ... If you're a fan you must try this one it's scrummyFentimans dandilion & burdock - Waitrose

Near where I live, the dunes approaching the beach have been beautifully planted by Mother Nature Beehappy. One "corridor" has masses of evening primrose and vipers bugloss to create a lovely hazy blue/yellow scene in summer. Swathes of red, white and pink valerian too are delightful. Thyme...

Maybe save some of the seed and grow it in a more sensible spot next year. I love the pink version, you don't see it very often.

It was in the back of me head, good job google helped me spell it though

I scattered some butterfly and bee seeds in early spring and tonnes of Borage came up, which the bees ABSOLUTELY LOVE!!!!!!!!! It's ALWAYS covered with them and so, I am going to let it self seed almost everywhere for them! Luckily I think it's a beautiful plant too, so I will be as happy as...

If I get desperate later on then I might take you up on that Yeh I thought the same except I get the feeling that some people might see it as "interfering with wildlife" sort of thing. I figured a bit of research about the rules would be a good idea.

...also called yellow rattle, e.g. In chilterns seed catalogue

I undertook a wildflower planting scheme in our village nearly 20 years ago, and all the species have now become established in a wider area. Rather than single seeds, I sowed a small pinch. Plants from spring sown perrenial seeds should be big enough to plant out amongst grass in autumn, and...
