Again, except for things like primroses, it probably doesn't occur to most
people. There is a yellow wild flower that looks like a yellow Crambe
cordifolia and another hedgerow plant here that is obviously an ancestor of
Eupatorium


Eupatorium cannabinum - Hemp Agrimony
I didn't know there was a garden Eupatorium.

- that's just a couple that spring to mind.


Just scanning through the index of my wild flower book gives Achillea,
Ajuga, Allium, Althaea, Angelica, Artemesia, Astrantia as genera which
are familiar in the garden as well - and that's just the a's (and not
even all the a's)
