What BBN said about it

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorVolunteers in London have grown and planted out more than a thousand tower mustard plants, one of the city's rarest, the BBC reports.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA thousand. Hank, I'm going to need a minute, because that is a thousand little plants getting a second chance.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's thought to survive at just thirty sites across England, and only two sites in London. The seeds came from London's last remaining populations.
