Mr Higgledy Garden proposed...

Centaurea 'Blue Ball'

Calendula

Larkspur

Centaurea 'Classic Romantic'

Nope. Not a clue what this is...

Centaurea - unknown variety

and I accepted...

If I am being completely honest
I caught him at a weak moment
when he was so terrified about talking
in front of the dovegreyreader audience
that he sold me twelve packets of seeds
at an outrageously cheap price.
It is a brutal lesson
not to drink gin in public.


Now I just need a walled garden...

    The one you don't know...in the US we call it Queen Anne's Lace (I think...It looks a bit like dill too, but I would assume you could tell that by the smell) =)

      It looks just like the parsley I've allowed to go to seed. Any of the umbellifers could fit the bill.

    Oh that beautiful weathered brick wall. I have some of the same cornflowers as you and I've got black balls as well, although they're more of a dark purple than actual black. CJ xx

    I am with Lucille in thinking that it is Fennel. Have you taseted one of the seeds? That should tell you what it is.

    Your garden is splendiferous, I must see what Mr Higgledy can do for me.
