Bladder Campion - Silene vulgaris

Its gorgeous and unusual.

Brilliant Hywel...Thank you very much. X. Yes I thought so too Sixpence. It is supposed to be common though I have never seen it before.

Niether have I Faerieflora .

It's a wild flower. It grows in rough ground and fields

Well it is really lovely Hywel.

Do you have it in the garden ?

I have it in a shallow container Hywel.

It must look pretty. I've never seen it in a garden.

It looks so lovely Hywel... It spreading tendencies are just starting, and there are new flower buds appearing. I feel that am a very proud owner of this plant.

Yes it's very pretty. And not as common as it once was. I haven't seen it for a while. Take care of it .

Do not worry it will be cherished. I saw these wonderful flowers growing on Holy Island, whilst on holiday last year. There were a few seed pod's asking to be re-homed. So a seed pod came back willfully from my holiday, and this is how the the plant unnamed-now named thanks to Hywel. What a Star * its now growing happily in my garden.

That's great and will remind you of your holiday :o))

It is funny how clearly I can see the time and place when I look at my plant growing happily.

I like to have plants that remind me of things/places/people. It makes them a bit more special

Plants sure have a way of interacting with us.

:o) yes and it's very nice thay do
