It has been a lovely surprise to see Poppy fields literally popping up locally in the last couple of weeks when I thought there would be none this year.
Apparently because we had a milder Winter followed by a warm Spring, it has helped create the perfect conditions for Poppies. And even more interesting, I saw on a weather report last week that Poppy seeds can live dormant in the soil for around 40 years and suddenly come to life if there is a disturbance in the earth which is why we are seeing so many unexpectedly flower randomly in fields! Who knew!
This is the first time I have seen Poppies from our bedroom window, that seagull seems determined to get into my photo's!
And this is one of the Poppies from the field, a rather exotic version of the ones in my garden.
Any Poppy fields sprouting near you??
I just love the look of poppy fields - so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow funny to have a seagull photo bomb your picture. I would love to see a field of poppies from my window. I have a few in my garden so will have to be content with that for now
ReplyDeleteLove those poppy's, I've only seen a handful this year
ReplyDeleteOh, the fields are beautiful, I love how they look striped from a distance! The close up is stunning x
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous! They remind me of a Monet painting. We don't have any poppy fields, but we've had a fair few poppies springing up in our garden.
ReplyDeleteVery Monet! What amazing views to have from your window. I never knew poppy seeds could lie dormant like that but we also had a better poppy season in the south of France this year (finished now though.)
ReplyDeleteSO beautiful, I haven't seen any poppy fields at the moment
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
I love to see poppies, beautiful pictures ...
ReplyDeleteI love to see them, poppies never get boring. Pretty photos :)
ReplyDeleteI have a great love for poppies, and these are fantastic photos! Reminds me of The Wizard of Oz, my favorite movie! Great job.
ReplyDeleteOh I just love these, Poppies are such an emotive flower.
ReplyDeleteThat is just so stunning! Carpet of reds! #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteHow lovely, I'm not even sure I've ever seen a poppy field! When I was little one of the houses I lived in had some garages behind it and behind them was a path with a communal compost heap. Randomly there were a few poppies that grew there and I was always obsessed with shaking them and trying to release the seeds #mysundayphoto
