These were gathered, this summer, in W Cornwall.
Due to a combination of stupidity and advanced years, I forgot to make a note of what they were or where I collected them.
Any ideas, guys?

TIA

Foxgloves?

 

[IamFof]

Thanks, Butty but no. Not foxgloves as I don't plan for them to be in the mix just yet.

Red Campion, Silene dioica. Also appears to be a Gorse seedling in the first shot.

 

[IamFof]

aeshna5.
Yes and no. I remember now.
They are either white campion (Silene latifolia) or Silene latifolia x Silene dioica, but I think the former.
Both were growing in my garden, in an area that is currently becoming a Cornish hedge. I only harvested from the white.
The gorse is Ulex gallii, western gorse, waiting for the hedge to be finished. Pic is end of day, yesterday.


Again, thanks

Certainly looks identical to the Red Campion seedlings in my garden-but don't think you could differentiate a hybrid from seedlings. Will be interested to see them when they have flowered.

 

[IamFof]

I did read somewhere that the 2 spp S. dioca and latifolia are not able to be differentiated at seedling stage.
As you say, let's just wait and see.

 

[IamFof]

As a follow up.
aeshna5 was bang on.
They have now filled out and are flowering.
I guess the plant I collected the seed from, must have been a hybrid, or what I have seen called S. dioica 'alba'. It was a VERY sorry looking plant, with just a single stem, very little in the way of foliage, growing in poor soil and very little moisture.

VG!
I find the hybrids to be quite whitish watery-looking things. I suspect this is more likely a pale red campion.
