    it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

      • Perhaps it was too embarrassed to show itself!

        • Nearly forgot!!
          My flower is a Vinca - periwinkle. An invasive, spreading, evergreen perennial but the flowers are lovely.

                Could it be self-heal, VC? If so, it's edible, apparently. Didn't know that till just now

                    • Another begonia survivor that's appeared amongst the beans. Don't think it will survive the weather much longer.

                            • I noticed these flowers just now,I can’t get very close though,a new flower for the day it’s a low growing perennial maybe primula but that’s a guess,I planted them there about ten years ago they don’t spread much at all,also this dahlia looks pretty with a tiny hint of pink in the petals

                              • My Flower aka Weed of the day is known by many names:-
                                Wood Avens/ Herb Bennett/ Geum urbanum - to me its known as a Pain.

                                Once the flowers die, a bristly seed head forms which catches in the dogs' fur and tangles it into a knotted ball that has to be cut out as its almost impossible to free it.
