Accidental planting

Sometimes it is the complete accidents which really win me over. This is a pot of Asparagus Peas. They have the prettiest crimson flowers which are, completely by chance, fringed by lime green sprays of parsley seed heads.
The parsley itself is accidental: originally sown in a pot eons ago and since then it has reappeared year after year, growing almost as a hedge in a gravel strip down the edge of our drive.
Didn't plan it. Can't take credit for it. And the Asparagus Peas turned out to be horrible. But it looks great!
