The Walls of Jericho

Day 6

| Gardening in a pandemic |
Many mysterious moons ago, this pretty herb (probably a weed) germinated from a packet of wild flower seeds, which I long discarded. I think it is Nemophila menziesii also known as baby blue eyes or baby's-blue-eyes. My editor, banished to a sunlit room, reminds me that I should not be so careless.
(I have been informed by one of my readers (okay, I only have one reader) that this bad-boy is Oenothera speciosa. It is very invasive and I doubt even a Hiroshima type event would get rid of it. Like living in a pandemic, one must accept what one cannot change. )
