the most glorious sight, a field of wildflowers in the city. I looked around and saw everyone mesmerised and so very relaxed either photographing it or just sitting on one of the benches around it.
and so importantly, a habitat for the bees and butterflies.
Close-ups of some of the inhabitants of the wildflower meadow, there are cornflowers in blue and deep pink, so many different colours of poppies as well as golden Californian Poppies and so much more to see as well as the meadow we will go back again and again this summer.
my girl in the meadow, fascinated to follow a butterfly, but still screaming beeee mummeeee when I've reassured her time and again that they won't hurt her, all they want is to gather the nectar and be left in peace to do so. She was a star as usual though, my girl.
Oh this is lovely we are buying a house that has a meadow and this is really inspiring to me
ReplyDeleteI love it when wild flower meadows are planted as park of city or town planning. So wonderful for the natural habitat and also beautiful to walk through.
ReplyDeleteLovely! It's nice to see so many flower meadows this year. I scattered seeds in the front garden this year to hide the lack of plants but I think I'm going to do it every year now.
ReplyDeleteWe have a meadow with wildflowers growing near to us but nothing like this! Your meadow looks stunning. I love to see wild flowers growing. Gorgeous. Wish we lived closer!
ReplyDeleteSaw a lot of wild flowers meadows post today at #hdygg and I can understand why. They are just so pretty! different colors and yet in harmony with each other. Thanks for sharing this nice photos =)
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous, I've seen so many wildflower spots this year it's great to see, those bees are going to kept very happy indeed. Happy bees = yummy honey - win win!
ReplyDeleteI love how the seeds are scattered and nature then just gets on with it - just as beautiful as a well planned and stocked garden in my opinion.
Smashing photos - and nice to see your daughter enjoying it too. Thanks for joining in :)
This is my dream for next year! I have an area planned out for a wildlife area in our garden and most it will be a wildflower meadow.I love poppies, Ox-eyed daisies, cornflowers the best.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning wildflower meadow, and beautifully photographed :) In my mind I have swathes of our garden and yurt field looking like this - in reality though, they are not! Oh well - this is inspiring, I shall keep sowing our wildflower seeds in the hope we achieve something like this soon!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - we've got an area that's been left to the wild at a park near us but it hasn't got anything like this array of flowers. I really love those poppies (?) that look bleached. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFond memories of Preston Park, we used to live in Brighton. How utterly stunning is this! Cheered me up just looking at it :)
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful place to relax. I especially love the white poppy with the pink rim. so lovely.
