Ajuga reptans - Bugleweed
I've had this plant in the difficult garden* for a few years but this year it seems to be doing really well. It had been spreading vigourously but didn't look as healthy as it does right now. I did wonder whether it might be spreading too much and I'd need to pull it out, but it seems to be reaching a balance.
*no drainage in winter, dry in summer, between a hedge and a concrete path
Ajuga reptans - Bugleweed - European native - check status in other areas because its spreading nature and general survivability make it a good candidate for becoming a pest.

#okay so bugle (ajuga reptans) lovely plant big fan#but I am never planting straight species bugle again because every time I do#the slugs kill it within a week of it being planted#I’m talking literally devour every last leaf until all that’s left is a tiny green lump in the soil#and they don’t do this with cultivars! ANY cultivars!!#I avoid most bugle cultivars because I hate copper and variegated foliage#bugle has lovely deep green leaves anyway so I don’t see why nurseries insist on making it look either pale and sickly#or like a lump of dirt#but I got one where the leaves are exactly the same but the flowers are pink instead of blue-purple#and the slugs will only nibble on it a bit but not kill it#now why the fuck will they not extend that courtesy to my lovely blue-purple bugle? no they have to chow right down on that one every time#the bloody cheek of it#anyway hope you enjoyed this very niche ventpost

What's blooming in the garden today? Well maybe it's time for another walk down the garden path. As regular visitors know, the house is up for sale and by next summer I expect to have a planter box on a balcony, and maybe a couple of houseplants for company. This is day three of my garden tour. I hope you're enjoying it. I know I am.
And I'm not done yet...
In order of appearance:
Rhododendron hybrida
Ajuga reptans (bugleweed)
Symphytum x uplandicum (Russian comfrey)
Tellima grandiflora (fringecups)
Hyacinthoides non-scripta (common bluebell)
Rosa rugosa (rugosa rose)
Convallaria majalis (lily-of-the-valley)

I'm starting another Baldur's Gate 3 run. I fucked up too many things in the last one. I couldn't even look at my poor dumb Bard any longer. RIP Jonathis Canterlink, I'll miss your hilarious battle-taunts.
Ok, Fresh slate, here we go. Githyanki Cleric, Nature Domain, Deity is Mielikki, Outlander background (escaped her Creche as a youngling and ended up befriending a half-crazy exiled druid out in the wilds who taught her some survival skills before he wandered off into a snowstorm one night, never to return).
Ajuga Reptans, we are gonna do great!
I hope.

I went on a walk recently in my local area which I am trying to do more often in order to connect with the land and learn the species that share this space with me. I saw this startlingly indigo-coloured Bugle (Ajuga reptans). Called Glesyn-Y-Coed in Welsh, it has been notably used in treating wounds and reducing inflammation (possibly through preventing infection). Therefore any modern Welsh practitioner may want to use this plant in connection with healing and protective intentions.
I have noted in my research to be found in a few Welsh medical remedies throughout the medieval period and even further back. (Notably in sections 5/1 , 9/58 and 10/24 of the Medieval Welsh Medical Texts by Diana Luft https://www.uwp.co.uk/app/uploads/MWMT_final_low-res-1.pdf)

Common Bird's-foot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), Common Bugle (Ajuga reptans), comfrey/knitbone (Symphytum officinale), and something I'm pretty sure is some kind of Astraceae flower? Some kind of Centaurea I'd say, though the flower feels too full for greater knapweed (Centarea scabiosa), which I'd expect it to be. so just. I'll leave this one un-ID'd.
(I'm deciding these IDs with the help of kvetenacr.cz. there might be some slight inaccuracies, as I haven't done this in a while.)

#i CAN'T BELIEVE I almost flubbed IDing knitbone. my game has dropped significantly#I remembered it as soon as I opened this post but fhakjs. at least there's that#flowers#photography#2024#may#spring
