Botanical Garden

How many kinds of sweet flowers grow
In an English Irish country suburban garden?
I'll tell you now of some that I know
And those that I miss you'll surely pardon..
Bush Vetch (Vicia sepium)
Cowslip (Primula veris)
Scarlet Pimpernel (Lysimachia arvensis)
Meadow Foam (Limnanthes douglasii) aka Poached Egg Plant

These are all wild flowers, often considered to be weeds, but I like having them in my garden!

    Wild gardens are the best – especially for attracting wildlife. We have lots of birds living in ours and get visited every night by badgers. Sometimes we also have visits from a fox and squirrel.
