47. Native poppies and corn marigolds

The native poppies have come out to join their Middle Eastern cousins, the ladybird poppies, creating a fabulous blaze of summer colour.

Growing with them are the corn marigolds, another lovely annual that used to be common in fields of wheat and barley and which now flourishes happily in the Garden.

Yellow and red, red and yellow, sunshine and fire. Pure happiness and joy.
