    I was wondering too, I thought maybe "fugitive" meant that the flowers were hidden in the greenery and you had to go looking for them!

    An aquilegia that just turned up at the bottom of the garden. What a little beauty. 2024-05-17_16-07-58_cropped.jpg

      Note the detail in each flower. I was flabbergasted.

              First blooms of Salvia Oriental Dove. Like most of them there's a bit of variation according to environmental temperatures. When it's warmer you get a more pronounced presence of white on the edge. It propagated quite nicely too and has a very nice rounded habit. PXL_20240518_092201437-01.jpeg

                I believe this is a hibiscus - but not sure which one.

                  Something suggest to me that its not Hibiscus, but I could be wrong.

                  Abutilon vitifolium, I think… A lovely colour.

                        Are Bidens eaten by slugs, @Escarpment? I saw a sweet little one with yellow and white petals the other day, but resisted as I was not sure if it would get munched to a stalk.
