Beautiful Corn Poppies

beautifull janey, so many to, love them.
i think i have some growing in my garden, they came up in my border and knew by the leaves and buds they were poppies, then one opened yesterday and was red and so pretty, i think the birds must have left me them ;o))

Delightful.

Beautiful photos and blog.

They are lovely Janey and I can see why you`d want some photo`s, I have some lovely pink ones here and a gorgeous red supplied I think from the birdfeeder, when I was younger I would have removed it but this one has pride of place underneath a white iceberg rose interspersed with pink and white everlasting sweetpeas, lol...

Oh yes! Definitely worth photos! How beautiful...the contrast of the red and green is amazing isn't it...and then the ripening corn in there as well....just wonderful. There used to be a field of them near where I lived when young....Oliveoil might remember them...on Foxby lane Mum, there was always a field of grain with poppies in it up there at the top of the hill.

OMG janey .............. you are right !! how gawjuss they are ................carnt beleave he called them weeds , must be mad .
just getting a few in my garden now ...... ........... love ox eyes as well , every year i plant more.. i want them every were lol ;0)))))

Oh yes, I love oxeyes as well Cristina. Probably my favourite wild flowers, so cheerful!

Lovely blog Janey. They are so beauriful arent they. I bought corn poppy seed and ox eye daisy a few weeks ago as I would like them in my natural areas. I believe the biggest problem with the rake and shake method, is lack of watering so I've grown them in trays and yesterday planted them out on bare ground amonsgst the grass in little pods, hope it rains now.

Thanks for putting on these photos Janey . . . absolutely fabulous! As you say, as good as a domestic plant any time. :) Love Ox-Eye Daisies too - just as well 'cos they seed themselves all over my garden (once you've got them, you've got them!).

Aren't those poppies gorgeous Janey! You couldnt plant it out nicer, fantastic colour!
Oh! Sheilabub you are so right! I threw a seed head over the top of a really small pot of compost for a friend (I told her! She still wanted them!) and she planted out nearly 40 plants! I feel so guilty...what's her garden going to be like next year?!

Aren't they wonderful. Such a bright colour :)

dawnannt ............. thats wot i did ......... and have a gud show now , dun more this year ,,, theres a pic somewere

Hi Cris, that's great news :). Wasnt sure if it would work :). Did you set yours out last year? And they came up again this year?
Wild flower growing is meant to be easy, hmmmm, not so easy me thinks.

I agree Janey what could be more delightful to the eye, Monet thought so too.

I would have done the same thing Janey, There's nothing more natural and beautiful than a field of Poppies ,I love them, stunning photos by the way :o))

Beautiful pictures.

They are stunning aren't they....pleased you all enjoyed the pics, we're having a very difficult time right now, Ian is quite poorly and we're having lots of trips to the hospitals,
to see such natural beauty is so restorative, and great therapy.....:o)
Yes love the Ox-eye daisies, and what we used to call Mother's die, the umbellifers.

Like you San I have one or two in the garden, then a couple of those Opium poppies with the great grey leaves.

Thanks Grandmage and Carol....:o)

Thats sounds a really lovely combination Lincslass, love red and white together.

Thanks Karen, nature's colouring is always the best isn't it, it's so good these days that the farmers leave areas unsprayed isn't it.

I bet your garden looks great with the Ox-eyes Cristina, I used to have them in vases all over when we were first married!

Bet the wild-life will love them Dawn, when they get established, we'll be able to see some pics maybe next year...:o))

Lol Sheila and Libet, they are easy to pull out though aren't they, just wait till the flowers fade, I keep meaning to pull out the Opium poppies but there are more buds forming....:o((

They are brilliant against the green Hywel, total opposites aren't they.

I sprinkled some Shirley poppy seeds in the garden Cristina and Dawn, so many plants and are they tall.....totally in the wrong place, but who cares....:o)

Yes, he captured them perfectly Stroller....

Thanks Amy and Frybo...:o))

These Poppies are so cheerful! Gerry pulls up any he finds on the allotment but I leave them to flower! We also have a lot of Opium Poppies as well. I spent some time just cutting/snapping off the seedheads! I don't want an invasion of them on the plot! I do like them in flower though!

One of the allotment plots is covered in them from top to bottom! they make a good sight!

I love to see these poppy's so bright and cheerful, I have lot's of Welsh poppy's both orange and yellow :-)

Yes, the yellow poppies seem to like it here too, but I haven't had much success with the others this year. Would anyone like to swap seeds? I'd be thrilled to have some poppy seeds (red, white or pink!) if there are any to spare . . . thanks. :)

Janey, I do hope your Ian will get better soon. x

Lovely janey.... love poppies...

These are so beautiful. Poppies are very special to me as my first son was born on the 11th of the 11th month in the 11th minute of the 11th hour. Very poignant. Jx

I so love these Jane but not the small yellow poppies .

I will go upload a photo of a stunning poppy where I was working today.

Janey, a perfect example of, 'the best things in life are free'. :)

these are just beautiful janey ~ i love poppies ~ hence my avatar!!

Oh I love poppies! No wonder Monet painted them eh?
Makes me want to get my paints out!
I scattered poppy seeds in the front garden last year and got 2! None have appeared this year at all, but I got some giant poppy heads from one of my students so I'll have them next year!
Lovely pics!

I love these pics Janey, what could be more beautiful. I have some in my garden, they look fantastic. must have come in the new soil from last year. I put a pic on cos they looked lovely. The funny thing is, they've grown around an oriental poppy I planted last year, as though they recognised a relative. That's open now and it's the same lovely colour:-))

Oh wow, they're beautiful, oh to have the space to give to have vast swathes of these!

" such natural beauty is so restorative, and great therapy....."
Indeed it is Janey. June is the time of year when Nature makes all us gardeners look like amateurs. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful poppies. They look so nice, but are so delicate.

Beautiful pics Janey.....so red!!

A lovely lady who has an allotment next to my son has a glorious show of very tall nearly black poppies,singles and doubles, they are fantastic and she kindly gave me some seed heads hopefully they will come up in my garden...

How lovely, Lin . . . good luck with that . . .

I love Field Poppies, just love to see them in my garden.
Out cycling, we pass many cultivated fields with poppies and other wild flowers growing along the verges...
Beautiful...

why would anyone in their right mind call them weeds, they are so nice, would love to have them
