salvia sclarea tukestanica, I grew these from seed, two years ago?, they first flowered last year, this is the only one I have this year, I can't remember if they're annuals or perennials -update- yes, grew from seed in 2019 and they are supposedly perennials but only have one plant left
monarda Cambridge Scarlet, I thought bees liked these but I have never seen a bee on one, not that I have many bees, sadly
first evening primrose flower from a wildflower pack of seeds I sowed last year, most of the other wildlfowers in the pack were annuals and bloomed last year but this one didn't bloom until this year as it's a biennial - funny to include in a pack of annual wildflower seeds
greater knapweed with bee
first sunflower in bloom
first calendula in bloom
marsh mallow buds
hollyhocks round the corner self-seeded in the pavement from hollyhocks in a pot I shared there with my neighbour

I don't have as many Chinese lanterns as I used to. Recent drought periods have really taken their toll. I see 3 plants there this year. May be all I get. I'll have to have another look.
an unknown seedling I have, await flowers to identify
catsear, thank goodness it's survived the weedkiller
