globe thistles are finally in bloom, the bees are loving them
this is one of my pots where lots of things have self-seeded, including this viola
from the other side it may be easier to see what's in the pot: silver grey poppy? on the right, nasturiam in the middle, verbena bonariensis on the left, large bright green leaves I have no idea!
another viola in a slightly different colour, large foxglove leaf to its left
a few of the cornflowers that I planted from seed have survived the slugs and are blooming and looking good
the Scabiosa Oxford Blue fully in bloom

Soapwort, I saw this growing next door like a wildflower, looks a bit like phlox.
