While we took a look at the cultivated garden yesterday, today it’s time to look at the wilder side with some flowers.

These poppies are just amazing. Too bad the rain ruined them all.

Here’s some simpler ones.

Last year I threw some cheap flower seeds on one area. They turned put top be white mustard, which bloomed last year, and alfalfa, which is growing like mad this year. The bees love it, the degus love it, I’ll let it flower so it can seed next year’s crop as well.

And a colourful beetle. It was somewhat shy and I only had the mobile, so the pic isn’t great.
