Does anyone want some seeds of Acanthus Mollis/Bears Breeches? If you do I'll save some for the seed swap.

Not for me, thanks Veggie.

No thanks I’ve just managed to leave one of those behind.

Thought this would be the reaction - that's why I asked first before impaling myself on the spikes.

Saved today …. Asclepias carmine rose
And galega (mauve goat’s rue).
Both for seed circle if wanted.
Good for picking!

I had to google both those   . I like them.

I’ve collected drumstick scabious, sweet William, snap dragon and can’t remember its proper name something lace flower.

Is it Ammi majus?

That’s the fella. Thanks

I lied it wasn’t ammi majus. It was the other white thing also called lace flower - orlaya .

Today I saved a few more wallflower seeds

Orlaya has never done well for me (heavy clay soil) so have given up on it.
Get just one picking and then that’s it - finished.
Anyone else find it a useful cut flower??
