Poppies

 I am trying to keep some flowers to encourage pollinating insects and don't these poppies look stunning. I put my hand next to the flower to give you an idea of size.


Wallflowers
The wallflowers continue to flower and are pumping out the most gorgeous fragrance

Day Lilies 
The day lilies are edible though a little nondescript to be honest. I wouldn't want more than a few pieces of flower in a salad
Lupins
The lupins are just finishing a first flush. The pink ones have been gorgeous but the blue ones tend to go brown from the bottom up really quickly.  I may well dig out the blue ones
