Everything in the garden has grown very tall this year with introduced species growing happily with whatever wildflowers have spring up. The Ox-eye daisies are particularly favourites with insects - every flowerhead has its quota of flies,beetles etc. The taill purple Linaria and the foxgloves, especially the small-flowered yellow ones. attract bees while all the varieties of poppies are full of hoverflies. The Yellow Rattle is tall and setting seed now so hopefully next year the grass will be sparser and more wild flower species can get a hold in the meadow.
