greater knapweed, one of my favourite wildflowers, I'm lucky enough to have it in my garden
monarda Cambridge Scarlet
marsh mallow, blooming
purple loosestrife
hosta flower
bud on the self-seeded shoo-fly
Amazing Grey poppy
14 hollyhocks planted out, 5 more to somehow get into rock-hard ground
that plant with the red flower was already in the garden, the lone survivor or the hollyhock weevil, ox-eye daisy and drought
while I was planting out the hollyhocks, I noticed these leaves and didn't recognise them, also, sadly, damaged them by accident but the slugs and snails have also had a go, finally realised a few days later - melancholy thistle, which I have in the back garden, how it self-seeded int he front, I don't know
I planted out the small morning glory Heavenly Blue plants into larger pots, 4 in a pot
