First poppy of the season and it's in surprisingly good condition after yesterday's heavy rain which it must have just missed.
The winter flowers have been pretty sparse this year apart from the calendulas like these that are part of a border in the vegetable garden
and alyssum here bordering the poppy bed.
I told Miss Four that alyssum is also called Sweet Alice and she gave me a sideways look of disbelief. Just wait until the Johnny Jump Ups jump up. Maybe I'd better stick to calling them heartsease.
