Wonderful! I haven’t seen any this year, they are getting to be a rare sight.
Yes, they certainly are. This spring the same farmer laid all his hedges, so I think he is on a bit of a conservation phase and we are all enjoying the consequences of it.
Beautiful photos–so *summer*!
Fields like this are such a rare sight that this one it has become something of a local tourist attraction.
Fab field of poppies. They are abundant this year but I’m waiting to find the perfect poppy field! I found one last year like yours, it’s on my blog, it’s just a farmer’s field but full of that wonerful bright red! 🙂
Yes, poppies are the best red out there! Of course a better shot of this field would have been from a ladder.
Either the farmer hasn’t sprayed his wheat or he applied a weak mixture leaving the poppies for us to enjoy.
I think that he sowed the mix deliberately. Everyone is enjoying the show. There are certainly a lot of photographs being taken of it!
Wow – gorgeous!
It does look fantastic, doesn’t it? Such a nice idea from the farmer. He’s just layered his hedges too, so it looks like he cares how and what gets done.
Living where we do I never get to see cornfield poppies, such a heavenly sight. Thank you for sharing.
It is wonderful to see the poppies with traditional corn too. Where I walk the dog in the morning, most of the fields contain that strange one foot high version of corn. Poppies wouldn’t have worked with those!!
I haven’t seen a field like this for years. How lovely.
It looks to be a very romantic idea from the farmer. I remember about five years ago another local farmer sowed poppies with an oil seed rape crop, up a hillside and that looked fantastic. However, I was told that he planned to spray the whole crop before gathering so that ended up being a bit depressing.
I don’t know enough about the economics and techniques of farming but it seems such a shame that poppies are rarely tolerated.
