Strewth – I get dozens of them and have done for years! Never thought they were anything special._________________

Likewise, but only in the last couple of years. They are pretty though. And we now get hummingbird moths regularly too – arrivals about two years ago. Amazing to watch_________________

Can anybody identify what grew in the plantpot that I had taken the summer annuals out of? I know it is a weed but it is very pretty .

PS it is not the fungi at the bottom

Looks suspiciously like a lobelia to me, Sue!

Thanks Valerie. I had been flicking through my book of weeds for hours without success but then I am quite impatient with it

Not a weed though – people pay good money to the likes of fish to buy these bedding plants each year

I didn’t clear out a couple of planters and window boxes last year and poked unconvincingly at a few “weeds” in the summer months – just the same as you they turned out to be lobelias too; the little critters must self sow from the previous years plants._________________

There is also a trailing variety, for your hanging basket.

Yes, I had a trailing one with pale mauve flowers in one of my window boxes this year – it must have sowed itself from last year’s hanging basket nearby. The seeds are so tiny that they could easily be wind-blown.

They must be wind blown seeds then because I certainly didn’t plant them unless they came with the job lot of plants from the Scouts but I am sure I would have remembered something that pretty.

i have a specimin that was in a hanging basket but is now in several other places including the edge of the drain from the sink. the thing is it can dry out and when watered it springs back to life so im keeping it._________________

I was trying to hit the 7000 post mark, prior to midnight, and couldn’t think of anything else to post! There was only me on the forum at the time, so intelligent conversation was out of the question!!
