Meanwhile back to the mysteries of a haphazard garden

Recurrent Illium

Finally dragged myself out of the house for a few minutes today and found some surprises.  One mystery solved and yet another posed.

Random wildflowers.

First a solution. Those strange plants at the west end of the pea mesh finally bloomed and can now be identified as illium that grew back from last year's planting.  Those are the bunch of orange flowers in the picture.  So, that one's solved.

When I started this year I threw a bunch of mixed wildflower seeds into a bare spot among the trees just in front of the garden.  That field of blossoms is what developed.  A few of them also grew around the new street marker.  I will spend some more time with that next year.

Now the new mystery.  Among the pea plants there is one that doesn't belong. It is just as high as most of the others but it has a stouter stem, different leaves and red flowers instead of white.  Could a different variety somehow gotten mixed up with what I bought or did some usurper sneak into the garden.  Remains to be seen what will come of it.  That's the picture with the red flower among the peas.

Strange red among the pea plants.
