A tale of two cities awakes

First  poppy out - Kepler street plot

For those of you who follow the blog, you will recall that I helped spread Everton meadows wild flower seeds.  The grow wild project, twinned with Manchester

An incredible wet day for us who made the effort but now the fruits of our labours awaken.

I've been following the plots since their creation and reported the first poppy to bloom on  21/06/15.

12 days later a sea of red has occured, with the Druid st plot being the brightest. The white chamomile is also doing well whilst the back runners at the moment are the cornflowers... but with the recent hot sun and today's rain we expect a tide of blue very soon.
