Stridolo
One of the Italian names for what I call Bladder Campion (Silene vulgaris, formerly and more evocatively Silene inflata). Intrigued to hear it can be used as a herb or in a risotto (perhaps a bit like Nettle, which I love), and not fancying it from anywhere I've ever seen it grow, this came from seed... Fox cubs kept digging it up so not enough survived for a risotto and I never fancied it as a herb... but I'm so fond of the flowers that I haven't the heart to pull it out and it is now an unlikely companion for a Tomato...
