pink poppy


More transient beauty from the wildflower meadow .. there are many semi-translucent pink poppies among the more regular Californian deep yellow-orange variety.  I'm not sure how I could have come to have sown so many - maybe the other varieties didn't thrive as well.  Going out and checking what's flowering on any particular day is a very welcome occupation...but if anyone wants to know what garden I would really like, check out the RHS's Chelsea Flower Show - which is, of course, Virtual, this year - and look under Monday, at Monty Don's garden.  https://www.rhs.org.uk/shows-events/virtual-chelsea.  (for those of you who don't know him, he's the presenter of BBC's Gardener's World, and broadcasts this from his garden, which is in Herefordshire - and he has a book about wildlife in the garden coming out in the autumn.  https://www.montydon.com/.   Yes, I may be becoming an English stereotype of a certain age ...
