Hoppy Poppy
25th July 2020
I have been working on my poppy collection over the last few months. Taking lots of photographs of the incredible, delicate and complicated flower seed centres.

Hoverflies and bees have especially enjoyed the flower heads. Now that the petals have fallen and the seed heads are developing I have discovered they make perfect, pedestals for photographic opportunities.
Rescuing tiny froglets from being accidently trodden on along the garden pathway, I have popped them onto a poppy seedhead, where they can easily leap into the long grass for freedom.
I also have been able to share a hoppy, poppy moment with a cricket. They don't dally long so I have had to been quick!
