Meadow update

Hi
Some of you kindly helped in identifying the corn cockle in my meadow several months back. They looked like weeds to me and you did me a huge favour. So as promised here is how it looks today. I am pretty happy with it , as you will see loads of corn cockle but not much corn flower yet ? Also got a bit if 'garlic mustard' in it that I am too scared to pull out (don't want to trample down all the flowers). Anyway again thanks to you all

 

Looks lovely. If you want the poppies to return they apparently need disturbed soil for the seeds to take, so it might be an idea to do that by hand when they go to seed. You need some blue cornflower, and field buttercups, which will no doubt come along shortly

 

Thanks whis4ey, fingers crossed the blues and yellows come out soon

 

Looking good Picnic.
Although your corn flowers haven't appeared yet, I can see an ear of wheat in the foreground, so you've got the corn and the flowers!
