Purple Toadflax

The Purple Toadflax is ubiquitous in my garden and until today I had no idea what it was called, indeed I have been treating it as a weed pulling it up wherever I found it but it just kept returning! Fascinatingly it is a species of wild snapdragon and is an excellent pollinator, bumblebees, bees, butterflies and moths are all attracted to it. I am now looking forward to seeing the flowers when they appear in the summer.
Don't forget to short-list GP 609 now!!
It should be a fairly short voting period so that the winner of 609 knows before 610 is over.
Since it is a weekly challenge we do need to keep the ball rolling!
I will also tagged the winning announcement.
