Hello you knowledgeable people.

As I have trouble growing anything at all, I gave my lovely Mum a load of different packs of seeds, and she's now handed this tray back to me. The problem is, neither of us can remember which seeds she was given, or what these are!

So, here is a pic of the flowers, any ideas?

Thanks

Forget-me-not.

Thank you.

I know all the seeds I gave her were safe for torts (yay for TT database app while shopping), but I couldn't remember what I gave her. Lolly will be pleased - the only other plants to survive my tender clutches are dandelion and the occasional plantain.

Well done your mum. I'm sure Lolly will enjoy them.

The plant second from left with no flower looks like a willowherb which is not edible. Probably a sneaky little seed that put itself into the pot.

Sneaky little so-and-so!

Thanks for spotting that. I'm going to re-pot them into bigger pots, so I'll do all the ones with blue flowers and see how the ones without flowers develop.
