Seeking advice in regards of preserving this plant (if it's the right one)

Hi all,

I'm not a ecologist by profession (but a student which is learning for gardener and have a great love for flora and fauna working for the community house). Therefore, I do not understand all ecology principles, so please be gentle.

Not so long ago April 23th of 2026 I was watering the trees with my colleagues. I stumbled upon this plant with heart shaped (leaves?). Today I was looking into Dutch plant names (I'm from the Netherlands) and discovered "Vlashuttentut" which is in Latin "Camelina sativa subsp. alyssum, synonyms: Camelina alyssum, Camelina dentata and Camelina foetida" according Wikipedia (I know it isn't the best source, that's why I reach out to you guys). On the wiki page and "Nederlandse soortenregister" (this is a website that lists the status of flora and fauna in the Netherlands and is reliable) it says it doesn't exist any longer in the Netherlands.

I might be very excited, which might color my perspective a bit, but I do think there is a resemblance. Unfortunately these are the only pictures I do have now.

My questions are:

  1. Is this indeed the plant, based on the pictures?

  2. I work for the community house, but would really like to have a better chance of preservation, so what should I do next?

  3. We have "boswachters" they are more thoughtful about the environment. We have city ecologist.

  4. I also found a professor linked to this plant at the "soortenregister". Should I contact him?

I really love to hear your advice.

Bordeaux is lovely 🥰

Hi all,

For this bouquet I used the following:

1x Peony 'red charm'

3x Lysimachia 'moonlight'

2x Lunaria annua (originally planned 3, but one wasn't looking good)

10x Aguilegia 'bordeau barlow'

3x santini chrysanthemum

This time I tried to make the most with less (read: tight budget from hubby (and me) 🤭). I'm a hobbyist so bought the flowers by a florist, but didn't let them arrange, haha. The peony still needs to do it's magic. ✨️ I believe this is my 3th or 4th bouquet.

I intentionally chose the flowers this time. The peony als center piece to work around. The lysimachia for some height and it's shape. The lunaria annua for it's green and shape. The aquilegia because they were simply beautiful. The santini chrysanthemum to just pop some colour in the bouquet. The vase was what I had.

Originally I planned the 3th Lunaria annua before & underneath the peony and than the santini chrysanthemum a bit lower too.

Have a wonderfull day ✨️💫✨️
