I love houndstongue and have grown it from seed successfully in recent years. I have to collect and sow the seeds myself and it hasn't self-seeded but recently I noticed one has self-seeded.

seedlings from seeds collected and sown

Socks enjoying the sun, surrounded by teasel rosettes

lots more teasel and dandelion rosettes

more rosettes
looks like a dandelion growing through a Crepis vesicaria

sea holly with a small yellow chamomile in the middle

I think this is Crepis vesicaria but will confirm when I see it bloom (eventually)

Stachys byzantina

Cirsium botryodes

self-seeded cornflower

giant knapweed seedling

late borage blooms

a few unknowns

acanthus

some late chicory blooms


some new growth from the base of the chicory stems



datura bud

magic time of year with lots of aster in bloom, bees visiting


Crepis vesicaria? or maybe a dandelion

red campion rosette

this datura and been flowering on and off over a long time and just saw another bud

closer view of that datura bud

I'm not sure what this is

not sure what those seedlings are

bristly oxtongue, some of my last flowers for this year
