I have now returned from two conferences and looked at my garden in some confusion. During the two weeks I was gone, the soapwort and the musk mallow came into bloom, and the garden is now a riot of white and pink, with the occasional yellow (rue, St. John's wort) and blue (cornflower) sticking up among it.
