    Wild flowers

    The verges are snowy with bramble blossom. Every year a glut! And the rose hedging is colouring with hips. Flowery fruit.

    After reading your post I was going to say Woundwort as I had it in OH's garden in Norfolk. Then I realised there is a page too and it has been answered!

    Primrose seed what/when.

    Put a thin layer of sand over them and put outside in the shade. Older seed need a period of cold. Or you can put them in the fridge but I find outdoors works best. Always worth a try.

    Identify flower from Wildflower mix

    I agree it's Vinca (Perriwinkle) but I don't know which type. It isn't a wild flower, it must have been in the ground before you sowed the seeds.

    What a lovely little flower.

    A close up of the flower may be useful rather than of the shoe. :rolleyespink:

    Mugwort or wormwood?

    Thanks for your replies! I'm fairly confident now because of the taste, and the stems are going purple as the plant matures. I think wormwood also has a strong smell.
