lots of flowers on my new agapanthus, Poppin Purple

I have two monkshood plants in this pot.

I recently noticed these growths on the left plant at the base and along the stem.

some green alkanet and borage self-seeded in this pot, before the borage buds appeared, I couldn't tell them apart

I don't see hawkweed very often, not as an urban wild plant anyway, so was surprised to see a number of them self-seeded along this house
