Plant of the Day

In this dry garden the self seeded Eschscholzia californica (California poppy) are blooming. These short-lived perennials are native to Mexico and the south-west of the USA but grow as annuals in the UK.

The self sown aquilegia are looking beautiful. This purply one in the foreground is my favourite, its colour so alive and deep. . . . #Flowers #SelfSown #Rewilding #Biodiversity #NatureAsArt #OrganicIsBest #WildGardening https://www.instagram.com/p/CeKOwt0j2V2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nasturtiums. This year my nasturtiums had self seeded and are popping up everywhere.

Ornamental sunflowers re-seed in the most inconvenient places - like the edges of my sidewalk and driveway apron. I leave most of them though as they are tough and the flowers are so cheerful 🌻 #gardendc #dmv #flowerreport #flowers #nofilter #picoftheday #seeds #selfsown (at Silver Spring, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGUzP5MAxVP/?igshid=f54zsx9p704a

Only one of the sweet pea seeds I actually planted has grown, but I have several selfsown plants flowering - including this very dark burgundy one. Two sprigs scent three rooms, and the perfume from them plus lilac and the old rose - divine. #flowers #flowersoftheday #sweetpeas #burgundy #rose #red #lilac #perfume #perfumedgarden #vase (at Moyston, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4B9acdhxQl/?igshid=1n890dp58vdhk

My veggie garden always seems to have flowers in it. This year I let everything go to seed. Now I have free seedlings popping up everywhere. It makes for a free, unorganised garden but I like it. Also the garden beds are in use longer as it takes an extra couple of months for the plants to go to seed and then dry. Oh well, it is all an experiment. I hope the garden feeds me eventually #medicalmedium #organicgardening #seeds #growingfromseed #selfsown #freegardening #ediblegarden #vegetablegarden #growveggies

At the base of this wall the clump-forming, evergreen perennial Corydalis lutea (yellow corydalis) is thriving in the shaded location. The pale green leaves form mounds of fern-like foliage with bright yellow flowers.

Just snapped our sunflower this morning before the heavens opened. It’s a volunteer, but most welcome.

This Veronica seeded itself into the middle of my front walk and is blooming now, so I just step around it - only a slight daily inconvenience 😀. #gardendc #selfsown #plantsintoughspots #dmv #picoftheday #nofilterneeded #veronica (at Silver Spring, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDwGRRmAncX/?igshid=1gk7zdn7r5gfr

Foxgloves... I won't call them a weed--but they do have a mind of their own. I suppose a less romantic gardener would have weeded out the seedlings at the bottom of the deck staircase in their first year, before they ever had a chance to grow those spires. Frankly I thought they'd get stepped on or weed whacked long before now. I think they will soon become part of a bouquet. #InTheGardenToday #bloomingtoday #coldclimategardening #upstateny #flowerstagram #instaflower #digitalis #selfsown #cottagegarden https://www.instagram.com/p/CBuF1mcgfAZ/?igshid=t7wn1elg4ow8
