    I have a stone trough in the garden which I sowed some seeds in a few weeks ago. The seeds were wildflowers which attract bees and butterflies. There are a few little folded purple buds coming out on a few stems. Can anyone tell me what they are please? Sorry the photo isn't very clear, it's taken on my phone. wildflower1.JPG
