We still have yellow Welsh poppies in the garden and it’s almost November!

I don’t think they are that hardy, but it’s a testimony to the exceptional warmth we have been experiencing recently.

It’s edges are darkening, its bright flower reaches up to be pollenated by a bee or hover fly. But they are not awake (or alive?), so perhaps it waits in vain? We need to see nature and our damage of it, look closely at the environment and try and turn back some of the destruction we have wrought. Let’s try and do some small thing to help mother nature.
