Planting a garden from scratch, plant by plant. Very impulse driven. Aiming for year round flowers in support of wildlife and pollinators!

Anagallis arvensis

Really love this self-seeded Pimpernel! Spreading underneath all the other plants and I like it! 22-08-19 #selfseed #selfseeds #selfseeding #selfseeded #orange #red #wildflower

Does everyone agree this is Scarlet Pimpernel? That’s my mum’s thought but it has self-seeded and I have no idea, plus it is definitely orange and not scarlet! Absolutely ecstatic that two months ago I had ALL turf and NO plants and now they are appearing even when I haven’t planted them! #SelfSown #PlantID #Wildflower #Orange

@Keely thanks! I was so confused by the orange but I’ve done a bit of research and it’s called ‘scarlet pimpernel’ because it was the emblem of the character 👌 also comes in blue and red 😂
