This year I've been working up to making a wild-flower garden & digging up & sieving all the soil,
in the process I seemed to have disturbed a load of dormant 'wild' seeds (could be bird seed plants).
Got so many of these particular plants growing everywhere now in the disturbed soil, that I've had to throw most of them away,
but this specimen got going not long ago in a pot in the pond & has gone growing-mad, it's 4 1/2 ft tall already.
It's even flowering, which is nuts considering it's so recent & late in the year.
Thing is I thought Hemp agrimony had pinkish flowers (got a couple of mature ones growing elsewhere),
these have yellow flowers.

Mixing up two topics...
The (future) wild flower garden used to be a jungle, full of ground-elder/goose-grass/bindweed

Loads of effort later, I'm hoping I've got control now (removed 'everything'), ready for seeding next march/may

Looking forward to many visiting insects when it gets going...
hopefully I'll be able to make some interesting new encounters
(not just the insects that like ground elder flowers).
