Another month, another “wildflower”…
Just next door to the cornflowers that featured last month and have been holding your interest ever since since are a big bunch of poppy plants that went in about the same time.
I suspect that the seeds were meant to be broadcast over a much, much larger area than I managed at the time. I guess the upsides of them all growing packed tightly together are a) not a chance of a weed finding a home, and b) they’ve managed to support each other though a very, very blustery nor-wester last night. Albeit with a few less petals this morning…
But we’ve decided that they do look good down the barren wasteland that was the septic tank effluent field, so hopefully we’ll be able to collect enough seeds to extend the colour block a bit further next year.
