Yellow Allysum

Flowering season is over, but the delightful little yellow flowers can be seen here.

there as so many different Yellow Allysums and some countries so the little flowering alpine as very invasive.

Perhaps it is but we always chop off the seeds for growing new plants so we never have an invasion of yellow allysum, other plants that run roots all over the place are far more invasive.

Our Allysum grows along side a pretty euphorbia, which is not for sale because of its noxious sap that can cause blistering of the skin. Still the two plants enjoy each others company along side the garden pond.

Although we have tried to seperate the two, the euphorbia comes back year after year like a proverbial weed.

As for the Alyssum it seems enjoy full sun, and is definitely perennial in our garden. Its never succumbed to the very harsh winters or terrible wet weather we have suffered lately. Every year it comes back flourishing.

Ox Eye Daisy

A rather wild, but what is called cultivated variety daisy like plant. The Ox Eye Daisy, it certainly does not look like an Ox's eye.

Children love them, adults abhor them, Bees adore them, the sweet little yellow eye and the pretty dainty white petals, pure innocence.

Some may say its a very invasive weed, rest assured the cultivated variety is not a weed, its a wild flower.
Laughs out loud, some say wild flowers are just another name for weeds, I would rather have a daisy than a hairy bitter cress or a horse tail.

Daisy's will always have a place in my heart.

Oxalis or Wood Sorrel

This pretty little clover style plant with tiny yellow flowers, is said to be invasive, beware of popping seeds when touched.

Personally we love Wood Sorrel, its dainty yellow face smiling up at you amongst the smallest nook or cranny in your garden, in a pot in the summer its a beauty to behold.

Full of fresh yellow flowers every day until the end of its season.

Part of the Oxalis family and always welcome in our garden, more than can be said for t he other weeds hairy bitter cress and horse tail.

SILENE MARITIMA

Silene uniflora


Also known as Catchfly, and Sea Campion.

Ours doesn't require any salty air to help it to flourish, it just flourished in its own little patch of garden that it was allotted and then took some more space.

Looks like a patch of green leaves that might be mistaken for weeds and then it springs alive with an abundance of white flowers that are very pretty and pleasing to the eye.

No known indications of allergy or other problems, no warnings about dangers to Cats or Dogs or your children.
