Matron, garlic cress cna be found here http://www.pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Peltaria+alliacea sorry I don't know where the seeds came from, I was given a handfull of plants from my friends organic market garden and I have never been able to grow any from the seeds I collect, so I have hardly any left and they look like they might not grow back again. Gary, thankyou! Alice, I thought they were pretty too, and hopefully each one will grow into something edible!
I've never heard of garlic cress before either. Please report on how well you like it.
Scarlet runner bean flowers are one of my favorite ones to eat. (They make a tasty and lovely contrast in green salads). Our local hummingbirds seem quite fond of them as well.
Tlc, the garlic cress is fab, I am a bit worried it might not keep going. I use the leaves and little flowers in salad all the time, very flavoursome. Nature Girl, well the flowers are so pretty, and every one(hopefully) will turn into something yummy. Grannyfiddler, well I have just come inside to avoid the pelting rain. . . but yes, its a far nicer place to sit and contemplate in the summer.
WILDSIDE!!! Great to see you left a comment here. I miss seeing you... it's been way too long and I've often thought of you and wondered where you went. If you see this, please drop by my blog and say HI. Even drop me an email, you'll find the addy on my blog.

Wildside, I hope you can get your e-mail fixed, computers are great when they are working. but more time to spend in the garden if they don't?
ReplyDeleteIn the garden? You betcha! :-) Mine's gone amok!
ReplyDelete(Nice photos of Robbie too...)

Be they in Scotland or in Canarsie, Brooklyn - Pea flowers are amazingly pretty little things!
ReplyDeleteSara, I think they're beautiful, and I see in my minds eye the lovely grub that will follow!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, the peas will be pretty too. and yummy.
Scarlet runners are a favorite of mine too. I grow them for the hummingbird attraction.
ReplyDeletePrimrozie, shame we don't get the pretty little hummingbird here.
ReplyDeleteA very creative post Claire. The song, "Everything is Beautiful" is running through my mind after seeing all these lovely vege flowers :)
