I saw something on the telly recently, didn't catch all of it,
but the gist was that it's called London pride because it was
often the first plant to recolonise sites which had been bombed
in the blitz.

[ I should perhaps add that the plant in question was in fact
rose bay willow herb -
just google - London bomb site willow herb ]


Oh well, there's another theory down in flames. I did say I didn't catch all
of it, obviously less than I thought.
