North Shropshire

You can understand why Heron.....stunning layer of colour;0)

What a fabulous sight stunning photo I've nominated it for Goypedia under poppies

Magical!

you don't get to see a sight like that very often these days, it's truly magical :))))

It only lasted for the one season, lucky I had my camera. A chap I met there said he'd not long returned from Flanders, he said there were hardly any poppies there.

Lovely to see a field full of poppies Frank. Haven't seen that in years. Whereabouts was it?

A thing of beauty.

A gorgeous spash of colour...and you got your two favourite peeps to model it too.:)))

Wonderful poppies :o)

Beautiful scene reminds me of the wizard of oz the poppy fields.

Hadnall on the A49 between Whitchurch and Shrewsbury Pipsqueak. Not far from there is a Garden Centre/Tea room, where they specialise in Roses. I thoroughly recommend it.

Oh well if they specialise in roses I am definitely going. Thank you Heron

You'll enjoy the visit as it's not like an ordinary GC in that you feel like you're in the grounds of a nice big house.

Lovely picxture. The poppies seem to have bloomed in a lot of places this year. We've had them in the fields at Belper and my sister at Suffolk.

Wonderful sight! Thanks for posting it. :-)

Pure magic Heron, I even had two in my front border, no idea where they came from:-)

Fantastic Heron!
~a few years ago after travelling onto a new section of motorway which had only just been opened we were amazed by the miles and miles of poppies in the verge aren't they just fantastic!

I heard on Gardeners Question Time this week that they are flowers of disturbed ground, so that accounts for those on mine too:-)

may b thats y we have them this year as well must take a trip to that rose cnt.

saw this on the news . always reminds me of the flake advert,they are one of my favourite flowers.

I read once that the seeds have been known to lie dormant for up to a hundred years before being disturbed and flowering again.... this is so very beautiful, I wish the countryside was full of more of this!

A sight not often seen, beautiful and the photo a wonderful
keeper quite a treasure to have on GoY a lot of blessed people on here to have such kind friends sharing part of their happy memories!
