Regular visitors to this blog will know that I am a massive fan of poppies. This year I was too lazy and disorganised to sow and pot on my usual Ladybird variety, so I'm a little bereft as we head into the usual flowering window. Patty's Plum is promising a lovely show this year which will go some way to filling that gap, but it's also been a bumper year for wild poppies. I've had Icelandic poppies for several years at the front, but this year they have magically made their way to the back too (I prefer magic to bird poo). This unexpected intervention has caused me to slightly re-think my colour scheme to include yellow. I've seen show garden schemes that are mostly white with hints of blue and yellow and that's inspired me. So thanks magical intervention of nature and bird poo.
In addition the Welsh poppies have arrived at the front and are adding a lovely pop of colour which is welcome. Yet more evidence of the wondrous and anarchic nature of the Papaver family.
