This is the fourth post about the transition of a piece of waste ground into a purposed wild garden. These photos were taken during the year 2020 when it was in its natural state, that is to say, the “before” pictures, when there were already lots of interesting flowering plants, mostly native species but some escapees from gardens. The images this time feature Honeywort. It stumped me when I first saw it because I had never seen it before but I was reliably informed that it was a garden plant. I thought is spectacularly unusual and took lots of pictures trying to capture the almost iridescent colours

Very beautiful. A true paradise for arthropods, small reptiles, birds and small mammals—and, of course, for humans as well.

Yes. Honeywort the Cerinthe plant. I have bought the seeds in the past and grown them when I had a different garden, one not a mass of bramble nettles and bindweed. One where short plants could actually flower and be seen.

Thank you. It certainly is an area with potential.

I think your garden is providing much more for wildlife as it is now than it ever was when only short plants could flower and be seen. You seem to have successfully re-wilded your garden and significantly increased its biodiversity.
