Photodiary 'Seedling Blooms at Autumns Lughnasadh' Lobularia maritima (alyswm pêr) in Royal Carpet2/8/2021 Captured images, from just emerged seedlings to first bloom of seedlings of this low flowering herb also referred to as also known/referred to as; Allison, Sweet Alice, Sweet alyssum, Sweet Alison, Seaside Lobularia in European culture. Available in a myriad of pink to burgundy colors, the white is the most popular and this cultivar is referred to as ‘Royal Carpet’. Attracting many beneficial including Bees, one of my favourite uses of these teeny flowers is culinary. Perfect frozen in ice-cubes or scattered over muffins and cakes, sometimes I even pair them with Elderberry flowers for the same purpose or in a tea of the Sidhe (Ethnic Faery folkcraft). Sweet Alice is quick and easy to grow with only one small draw back and that is in-between die back and regrowth from self pollination, that it can look a little scrappy. I counter this by intercropping with other low growing herbs of which Oregano and Marjoram are favourite companions of mine. As Alice dies back and goes through the regerminating phase the Oregano spreads and covers, masking the in-between phase of blooms of Alice. The Oregano or Marjoram both have small flowers similar to that of Alice with tones of light pink to mauve. These seedlings were transferred to the ‘Moonboot’ garden in the ‘Moon Garden’, as a temporary front border. Intercropped with Cosmos in White Purity, Centaurea Cyans (Cornflowers in Blue Ball) and Gypsola (Baby’s Breath), but eventually I will transfer these to form a pot cover for my white lady (Silver Birch). This is a diary of photos from my botanical diary early spring 2020. From the Chapter ‘Lobularia maritima' Teeny emerging seedlings... The ever developing Moonboot Garden Bed' in the Moon Garden, with the small Royal carpet seedlings, up front (for now). Photos taken at midsomers end, Southern hemisphere 2021. Seedlings are showing burgundy coloring through the stems and some foliage... Opening flowers at the beginning of autumn’s Lughnasadh... Stay tuned for future more picture diaries of ‘Sweet Alice’ including of seeds, culture, maintenance, and use including landscaping/arrangements.
