Gardening anyone?

Lavender is another plant  that doesnt grow well in my garden ..
I think a plant has to like where it's at .
When you find that place it grows well .

I downloaded your plant app Klondike, will give it a go. 

I find it excellent for identifying wild plants. Much nicer to know they aren't just weeds

I think a plant has to like where it's at .

That's exactly it and why many wild flowers appear in clumps then maybe not seen again for miles. Others aren't so picky of course.

They look nice big Lavenders, Raven.

I had three,  2 purple and a white,  but the white one died.

Some wild flowers are so lovely although classed as weeds .
I have loads of Mallow in my garden and Corn Cockles  and little wild violets .
Poppies grow  everywhere I love them .

However some weeds / plants are terribly invasive .
They usually have come from some other country ( probably by the Victorians )
Like Winter Heliotrope which is practically impossible to eradicate and is presently lifting  up the pathway that runs alongside my house .
Also rife in my area is Himalayan Balsam which is a really lovely flower but has invaded all the canals and rivers . It fires its seed up to 10 ft away so is very hard to get rid of, it likes the U.K. probably coming from the Himalayas it thinks it's in the Caribbean !
