light and dark pink valerian

these are growing just outside the fence of a garden where we often walk

[Paula]

So pretty. Do these flower all year or just over Summer?

[Hazel]

@creativeamateur They just flower in summer. Not so common here in Hampshire but where Auntie Betty lives in Cornwall they grow everywhere.

These are so pretty - are these the valerian that they make anti anxiety tablets out of? Nice contrast of pinks.

[Hazel]

@doblaine Yes, also used for insomnia.

[Mags ッ]

Lovely soft flowers :D

You've made it look pretty here but it's rampant in my front garden and drives me mad - maybe ill leave it!!

[santina]

i like this composition, beautiful flowers

[Hazel]

@tobi thank you!

[Hazel]

@judithg I can sense the frustration in your post! Auntie Betty sent me a pic last night of the valerian growing along the roadside near her house and it's just like a hedge. How about 'Judith's Herbal Remedies'?

[Judith Greenwood]

@quietpurplehaze Oh - I didn't realise it was useful!

[Hazel]

@judithg Yes, you can buy valerian medicine for anxiety or for insomnia.

Oh, pretty. I like the different tones of the same flower color
