Poppies in the Meadow

I hardly thought meadows like this existed any more. but out on my bike I rediscovered this little park which is mostly allowed to grow wild. Pure delight.

 

"A poppy flower sheds its petals after only a single day - but a vigorous plant may produce over 400 flowers in succession during the summer. "
