Very looked after weeds if they are! I'd like to know what the lilac one is called - quite sinister looking flower.

Top one is phacelia a lovely wild flower and green manure. Bottom one is a yellow perennial daisy.

The first one's easy, as it's often grown as a bee attractant alongside crops. It's phacelia tanacetifolia, also used as a green manure, as it's very quick to mature and flower. It does self-seed easily, but that's no bad thing as bumblebees and hoverflies love it, and they're two of our top beneficial insects. The second - hmm, daisy lovers out there?

Oops, should have known immediately, but it didn't click. It's corn marigold, chrysanthemum segetum. Rare in the wild now.

Thank you all you have saved two plants from the compost,now where do I put them! in my garden.regards Trevor

Just let them grow where they are... basically they are wild flowers

Save the seed of the phacelia and pass it around. Great bee plant, and they need all the help they can get

phacelia looks lovely i want one. ;)
