The sun is shining and the allotment is in flower, promising a host of future harvestables. But can you name which plants these ten flowers belong to? Leave your guesses in the comments boxes and we’ll post the answers next week.

6. Aphids not pictured
7. It starts to get trickier from here on in…
8. Looks like this is going to self seed all over the place
9. This vibrant flower is making its debut on our plot
10. Honestly, this belongs to a vegetable plant
Wonderful, what a variety.. Unfortunately I’m better at guessing the seeds!

9. Asparagus Pea

Might it be of South American origin?
Yep… you got it then? If so then put everyone else out of their misery!
Is it Oca?

Correct!
A tricky one, but such a great looking flower we had to include it.
