Cheers friends.

Outlining a new podcast episode on weeds and the Victorian language of flowers.
Can't place "Speedwell," so I go digging, and it's:
- Veronica spp, a mat-forming weed I pull up
- been used as a cure-all tea since the Romans
- edible
- everywhere because our Victorian forebears loved it in their gardens.🤯
What else don't I know about these mundane-yet-amazing plants?
Anybody got a favorite Speedwell fact or myth?#gardening #speedwell #herbology #tea #Victorian #weeds #bloomscrolling

Reminding myself what spring looks like 🙂 Germander Speedwell (Veronica chamaedrys), I think, taken on my phone back in early May '22 #Wildflower #Speedwell | #Kent #England

I took a cutting of the Japonica plant. I also took a cutting & 2 seed heads from this plant - Veronica pinguifolia - which is native to NZ but popular with landscapers here on Vancouver Island. It produces multiple, gorgeous, small white flowers in Summer. Their seed heads are pretty too.

What a gorgeous blue!
Speedwell in the bank beside the path speeding us on our way - although it was slow going: the path was very rocky and uneven! All the better for stopping to look at the flowers

Thyme-leaved Speedwell (Veronica serpyllifolia)
Thyme-leaves Speedwell is another naturalized import from Europe/Asia that we found this morning growing in a grassy path. Too nice to overlook and my soul is saved by the fact that native insects happily exploit the flowers.
It really is tiny, those flowers are a bare 6cm across. The plant grows in full sunlight, tolerates partial shade, and thrives in a moist environment during the spring.
