 Greater Stitchwort (Stellaria holostea) is one of my fave wayside weeds/wildflowers. The daisy-like flowers adorn many a hedgerow and woodland edge in the countryside at this time of year.
 The patch above is in the back garden however. Several years ago I planted a tiny sprig of it from the South London Botanical Institute and it's gone mad!
 Re. my previous entry about naturalistic gardening. This is a good example of using chance as a design tool. I thought Stichwort would probably do well in this spot which corresponds to the part sun/part shade of its natural habitat. But I couldn't predict it would do this well!
