    Hi Sam, lovely photos and I think this could be the start of a new and interesting thread, where everyone could join in. Or is there one somewhere else and I have overlooked it? :confused:

    I just love cornflowers and poppies, and your poppy photo is a dream with those water drops on it :thumb:

    Hi Sam,

    This thread is suitable for both-so many wildflowers support wild life. Anyways, this turned up in the garden this year-I never planted it or seeded it but I am very happy to have it stay as they are so gorgeous

    Put it in the hardest roughest spot in your garden, the beauties love it there.
