coltsfoot and London rocket on Tower Hill

My yearly visit to Tower Hill to see the coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) a stone's throw from the Tower of London and  London rocket (Sisymbrium irio).

London rocket was quite disappointing as only some small shoots but I did manage to speak to the gardener there and ask him to let it grow and flower. It was great last year. Also emailed City of London parks to let the London rocket grow in Tower Hill Garden near the piece of London Wall but I don't hold out much hope.
