What? No Welsh poppies? (papaver cambrensis) Mine have come up a treat this year - finally. It's taken me years to convince them to make themselves at home here.

Let's think: Blodeuwedd was made of, "blodau'r derw, a blodau'r banadl, a blodau'r erwain", so oak, broom and meadowsweet.   

No pennywort in your hedgerow? Wild garlic, fennel, lady's smock, stinging and white nettles, bindweed (pest, but a pretty flower), chickweed, coltsfoot, tansy, sorrel, daisies (in swathes along the motorways out west here), yarrow, elderflower, speedwell, rosebay willowherb.

Can't think what your mystery flower might be. I don't think bergamot grows wild. I can't seem to grow it in the garden; the slugs are particularly fond of it. Can't grow broom either; snails colonize and destroy.
