Meadow flowers?
In a fit of optimism, I have dug up all the self-seeded thistles in the small triangle of actual lawn on the lowest level at the back of the house, and planted a Welsh Meadow mix - this is locally harvested seed from Pembrokeshire & Ceredigion, so should in theory be right at home. I bought them from https://britishwildflowermeadowseeds.co.uk, and am now wondering if I should have gone for their 'coastal mix' instead. I was tempted by the extreme localness of the Welsh mix.
I am going to paste the list of 'likely included' in here for ease of reference, so I can check if any of the plants listed appear. There might also be the odd orchid, apparently, but tbh I would be happy with wild clover, stitchwort or yellow rattle, and absolutely ecstatic if I got some eyebright. I've already got some trefoils, ox-eye daisies, and buttercups.
