Things that make me go Wow!!!




The oriental poppies I planted last year have started to burst open - and I mean burst! They are eye poppingly bright, completely jarring any attempt at a subtle colour scheme... and 100% fabulous! And there's loads more to come...



The best bit is their blue centres - multiple coloured bees have been spotted after visiting them so watch out!!!

  1. I have some poppy seeds to plant this yera - did you sow in trays first or direct.

  2. I've noticed that the Poppies seem to be particularly bright this year... I think it may be all this damp weather and dull skies! Jx

  4. I love poppies. They are so 'in your face', definitely not a shy flower! And the good thing is that they seed very easily. I have guilty of nicking a few seeds pods on my way home recently - not from your garden I promise!

  5. If I was a bee, I'd be right in the middle of that flower too!

  7. I adore Oriental poppies and mine are just that colour too. Had phenomenal amount of flowers this year, but most rotted with the rain :(
