Looking for wild flowers

[nerobot]

Hi, I'm looking for some random whild flowers to put in my garden. Don't really mind what they are but they have to not mind cold and rain (Glasgow), and don't mind much shade.

What have I got:

- Some rosemary seeds (about half a packet)
- CABBAGE, Derby Day (about half a packet)
- KALE, Jersey Walking Stick (whole packet, decided not to grow).

A few other things that I can't remember.

Let me know what you think.

You can collect the seeds of wild flowers that grow locally - but you can't legally dig them up. I belong to a group who have been planting wild flowers in the older part of our village churchyard (next to new lottie!) and we grow them from local seed. I tend to scatter a few about near the parent plant too - sort of sacrificial offering!

I have a million calendula seeds saved from last year - you're welcome to some of them if you pm me your address.

I think someone was giving away some snapdragon seeds too - I don't know if you can still get them but here is a link to the thread http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...ree_10519.html

They aren't really wild flowers though - I'd like to know what Nerobot means by wild flowers. Forgot to say Welcome to the Vine by the way - How rude of me!

Good point Flum - just got a bit carried away there (or is that should be carried away)

Thanks for all the quick replies.

Not actually quite sure what I mean by wild flowers to be honest

Suppose I really mean some easy to grow flowers (almost like weeks) that insects, etc will like. Sorry if sounds a bit hazzy, but quite new to the idea.

Well, in that case calendula will certainly fit the bill. My avatar should give you an idea what they look like and they seem to grow like weeds in my garden. A bit leggy but certainly attract the "good guys"

I've got some harebell, teazel, foxglove and poppy seeds..... if your interested i'll keep some back for you.

Hi and welcome to the vine. Good luck with your flower seeds

[nerobot]

I would just like to say thank you for all the offers. PM's have been sent out and again I thank you for all your generosity.
