Flowers on the plot… The answers

Quite a few of you had a go at naming the flowers in the blog entry – although I think Susan claiming to have 16 of them within minutes of me posting possibly intimidated some people from entering ;>) And you all obviously know your stuff, but no one got them all correct. So here are the answers:

1. Daisy – not sure what kind they were there when I got the plot and come back stronger each year.

2. Potato, maincrop can’t remember which variety!

3. Chilli.

4. Cucumber – Paris Pickling.

5. Tomato.

6. Foxglove.

7. Allium – of the flowering variety rather than one going to seed.

8. First sweet pea of the year.

9. One of the last Broad Bean flowers.

10. Dahlia – not grown these before.

11. Creeping Buttercup, an ongoing battle to stop them rampaging across the plot.

12. Carnation.

13. French marigold.

14. It’s a squash plant, I can’t remember which one but looking at the number of flowers I’d guess it’s one of the courgettes.

15. Phacelia – self seeded and much loved by the bees.

16. Dill – which seemed to be one of the difficult ones to identify.

17. Sunflower, one of the dwarf ones.

18. Coriander.

Thanks to everyone who had a go, have to try and think of something else later in the year!
