Welsh Poppies
The last couple of years have seen these orange poppies flowering in my garden and I know I never planted these! These are the Welsh Poppy (Meconopsis cambrica).
These are obviously wild flowers but they’re certainly not unwelcome in my garden!
Both pictures photographed with a Nikon D7000 and a Sigma 105mm f/2.8 macro lens.
Strawberries and Cream
I believe the picture explains the title of this blog entry…
Photographed using a Nikon D7000 with a Sigma f/2.8 105mm macro lens (f/5.0, 1/800). Selectively converted dull green background to black in Adobe Lightroom 4.4

Dandelion – British Wildflowers
The earliest signs of spring in gardens and meadows around Britain are the appearance of these tough dandelions. They might be the scourge of the gardener but they do light up meadows with their bright yellow showy flowers. These dandelions were seen on a footpath along a field near Hinxton, Cambridgeshire.
