POPPY POWER

Autumn is truly upon us. When the previous day of constant rain gave way to clear blue skies and sunshine I ran out with the camera to catch the light shining through the last of our flowers in the garden.

A bashed and broken-stemmed poppy still gives splashes of deep red colour in the flower beds.

I planted these seeds from a left-over supply I had in the cupboard which I normally use for making lemon (and poppy seed) loaf or possibly throwing in the mixed seed bread dough.

They are not big, there are not a lot of them but they certainly last well into the autumn season!
