All over the garden, inside and outside, the poppies are at their best. Their delicate petals are so easily blown by the strong wind we have been getting but at the moment they are a pleasure to look at, the red, mauve and Californian. These red poppies amongst the ixias are self sown, beneath the apricot tree.
The pink ballerina rose makes a beautiful background for the red poppies in the front garden, inviting passers by to stop and admire.
A self sown plant, standing tall amongst the gazania.
A row of mauve poppies in the outside garden.
Delicate petals of the mauve poppy, and beautiful crinkled leaves.
Bees enjoying nectar.
A very different form of poppy, the Californian, amongst the violas. The Californian poppy self sow and some may regard them as weeds but I love to see them appearing at the most unexpected places in the garden.
