Ferula communis in flower … the yellow umbels attract bees and other pollinators. This one is growing in an old dustbin on my front driveway

#umbels

The first of the Peucedanum I grew from seed is finally going to bloom after almost 10 years! Typically, these are biennials and grow basal foliage their first year and bloom/die the 2nd...although that's obviously not always the case. #gardening #biennials #umbels

The #flowers are small, yellow or yellowish-green, produced in small #umbels (hence the scientific name #Umbellularia, "little umbel"). Unlike other "#baylaurels" of the genus #Laurus, Umbellularia has perfect flowers (male and female parts in the same flower).
