The rain has really brought everything on even more in the garden, especially after all the sunshine in April. My poppy usually blooms in mid June
but it's out already and looking wonderful. I love the vibrant colour and the inky purple centre, even the texture of the petals pleases me. Sadly I wont be enjoying any lupin flowers this year as the slugs have polished off every leaf on the plant, wish they eat all the dandelions in the lawn instead...but not the daises, i like them and always mow round them as they are pretty.
