The Wildflower Border


The wildflower border has been mainly disappointing over the years. But not so this May. Everything has grown up together, so mostly all are self-supporting. They include the wildflowers that I planted years ago and love the warm weather. These include the ox-eye daisy and greater napweed.

This improvement might be partly down to the fact that the viburnum I was growing as a small tree was removed two years ago and all the asters have gone. Whatever has happened has worked. Some of the flowers have yet to bloom, so watch this space.


The blue flower is campanula persicifolia. See post of the 16th June last year for both campanulas.


The next photo is Greater Knapweed Blue. It was one of those three wildflowers I planted a good few years ago.


Another was the ox-eye daisy, or Leucanthemum vulgare.
