My favourite.

30days wild.

With delight I find my big pompom poppy flowering in my garden again . Originally the seeds were brought from my parent's garden in the early '80's . Like many poppies ,it has a mind of its own a wild child! -as it self seeds wherever it feels fit and not where I have seeded a patch for it to grow!! Some years It does not appear at all - so it is a delight when I find it in flower yet again!
A dull but clammy day with a rumble of thunder in the distance - I hope we will see some very much needed rain .
Another weekend - enjoy!!
