The seeds of Bloody William are very much like poppy seeds: the size of a pinhead, pebble-shaped, and charcoal gray. The seeds of peach-leafed bellflower are tiny ovoids with an oily sheen, like miniature cockroaches tumbled to smooth cabochons1, and they feel satisfyingly solid and slippery in the fold of the palm. Calendulas, blithe as they may be in bloom, shrivel to seedheads like dry spider legs grappling the air; each time I pressed my thumb in to crumble one, I steeled myself to it, and I didn't much like for them to wave in the corner of my eye.

Uh oh, I'm missing a bag of alyssum seed. That stuff is a nasty job to gather, and so light I'm afraid I set the bag down and it blew aside.

Now that I've got your attention, does anyone know what this plant is?
