It's lovely Jacque :)) You are so lucky to have space for a wildflower meadow...it must attract loads of beneficial insects to your garden?

Love your clover the red one is rare now, your garden looks lovely, can't wait to see it next year when the wild meadow blooms.

Wild meadow flowers are so delicate & pretty Jac & think of all the insect life you must attract...(well not you personally!)...look forward to the new season's flowering!

Hi Holly its mainly because my garden is so big iv added a Wildflower Meadow as its hard work keeping on top of it all! The Meadow looks after itself once the Flowers/Seeds have been planted/Sown :)

Corncockle and cornflower, who'd believe they are wild flowers - they'd grace any garden. I too, envy you your space. Did you rake off all the cut grass (hay) ? I believe wild flowers prefer an impoverished soil. Have you read Chris Baines' book 'How to make a Wildlife Garden' ? It's inspirational. Can you send me some of that bright stuff in your garden ? - I think it's called SUNSHINE !!!!!!

All the Hay has been removed now Muddy & il be rakeing some Poor Soil over the area in Feb/March 2010 to sow my seeds into,il also be Planting some Pink Clover Plants into it2 which i grew this yr from seed :) Iv had a peek@Chris Baines Book & like u i think its great :) Sorry no Sunshine today so cant send u any lol :)

Wow....you have a nice size garden and the pics of the flowers are stunning.

I 'think' I've got seeds for some of those flowers for my new plantes that arrived last week but they can wait for another time to be blogged!!

Hope the seeds grow into something half as good as these next year!
