end of June 2022

I squatted down to take a photo of my first greater knapweed flower of the year and a bee landed on it, right in front of me - amazing!

the Amazing Grey poppies are blooming, some colour variations - not really like the photos advertised but pleasant enough

this was this pair of flowers in the morning, next photo below, later in the day when they were fully open

I took this photo in the morning

by the afternoon the red poppies had dropped their petals and I think at least 1 more Lauren's Grape poppy opened

first Little Dorrit sunflower in bloom

the monarda Cambridge Scarlet have buds

I worry whether I'm doing the right thing, leaving these sheepsbit seedlings to grow together rather than trying to separate them. I worry I would disturb them too much trying to separate them. They look happy enough so far. They won't bloom until next year so I'll just have to wait and see.
