Sydenham Street plants
The first is on Sydenham Road, at the corner with Addington Grove. No idea who it is that has planted up a front garden border with phlox, but I think they look great

I've also noticed lots of self-seeded wild flowers in verges and around lampposts this year. I think the dry spring suited them.

Looks very nice but doesnt seem to being doing that wall any favours !
Re: Sydenham Street plants
I should think the cracks were already there and the stocks took advantage. They have long stems that bend under obstacles quite happily and are probably rooted well under, in front of or even behind the wall. They won't be rooted in or damaging the wall.

The cracks in that wall came from when a joy-rider crashed into it

Jaybee - you obviously know Silverdale - but no, some kids, late one evening, ricocheted off that wall and ended with an even bigger bang the other side of the road, closely followed by some police. And that's all I know.
