Poppies and Cornflowers

Saturday, June 9th, 2012

Every year for about a week my local farm shop sells poppies and cornflowers – they are pretty cheap, they don’t last long, but without a doubt they are one of the things that give me the most unadulterated pleasure in my year (along with the first daffodils).

Enjoy!

Have a great Saturday,

Helen

    Breathtakingly gorgeous – my favourite colour combo of all!!
    I love that many verges are now left to their own devices and the pops of red from the poppies make me smile whenever I pass them, as I did driving through the Linth Ebene last week…

    These poppies and cornflowers are soooo beautiful. Love the photos.
    I’m gradually switching my courtyard/bird garden to mostly purple/blue, red and yellow. Gotta see if I can grow these beauties in New Mexico…I have no prob growing pink ones, but I want that RED….
    Thanks for sharing these with us.
