A couple of few weeks ago this plant (photoed above) popped out of no-where. Literally no-where. It’s growing in a small gap in the brick wall. My first assumption was that it was a pesky bugger of a weed – but with a second look, I realised it looked awfully familiar to a plant Grant’s mum has in her garden. So I began to research. But how do you research a plant to find out what it is? I tried typing all sorts into google… “pointy purple flower plant” “plants with purple flowers” “triangular purple pointy flowers” – honestly, it was ridiculous. My search came to disappointing and failing end. Just how do you identify plants? So I typed that in ‘how to identify plants’ and what came up was two apps created for that exact purpose.
And did they? Oh yes they did!
