I thought I would share these pictures with you, opening the back door to the shop this morning I was greeted by a wonderful sight. In amongst the tall grasses and wild flowers (and weeds) stood proudly the most amazing wild oriental poppies.
These plants were not in the garden last year, there is something to be said for not cutting down the weeds and grasses, had this been done we would not have been treated to see these most beautiful of flowers.
They seem to dance in the breeze and the petals look like crepe paper, there are even some of the double varieties and in the most wonderful shades of pinks and purples.
These plants grow to over 4 ft high and can be used to add wonderful colour and texture to any border. We have them for free and we are enjoying their beauty while it lasts.
