Top row, middle two pics.

Thanks,


The softness of the stems intrigued me.

I added a third to show the flowers in place. So now it is the top row,
except for the borage and the onion.


The magenta flower is Lychnis - it also comes in white. They are brilliant
survivors in dry conditions which they seem to prefer and in my place the
volunteer seeds sprout in a gravel pathway.
