There are still flowering plants to talk about. The weather is mild and there haven’t even been real night frosts yet. The grass grows in garden lawns and the small-flowered touch-me-not flowers.
We know this plant as a weed, growing where man has disturbed the natural plant cover or destroyed it. Roadsides, rubbish sites, polluted cultivated areas and around the houses of uncaring  people. The plant is held to be an invasive foreign species but it isn’t a threat for our natural plant cover.

Ledebour,  professor of Botanics at Tartu University, brought the species here from his Altai expedition and planted it in the Botanical Garden at Tartu. In 1852 the small-flowered touch-me-not had become naturalised in parks and gardens in Tartu. A few decades later and it had already spread to all the Estonian mainland; only  reaching the islands took some more time
