I went out with my miniature macro attachment to the iPhone last week and captured photographs of a few wildflowers. Apart from the overall mediocre image quality (thank you Apple!) and extremely shallow depth-of-field, the macro adapter does a reasonably good job.

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!

I believe the picture explains the title of this blog entry…
