Autumn sometimes prompts a last flush of flowers on plants that flowered earlier in the year. The recent rains have stirred a growing spurt as well. Case in point Meadow Geranium and Musk Mallow have reappeared on the wildflower patch on the allotment.

 In fact I cut the patch down to the ground about a month ago in imitation of scything a meadow. Everything was parched and gone to seed by that point but now it's green and growing again.
