Default Wildflower seeds

[Not a reply to your question, but prompted by it]

Someone in Britain, about 30 years ago, bought (or acquired) a
selection of wildflower seeds, and a peashooter. On his daily train
journey to work he would shoot seeds out the window onto the otherwise
sterile trackside embankments and cuttings. The idea spread, and
considerably brightened the commuters' environment.

Also, I'm pleased to note that with budget cutbacks on
government/municipal services budgets, some roadside verges are not
being vigorously shorn as they used to be, and the wildflowers do not
appear to be a traffic hazard as previously alleged.
