Wild Wednesday…

So, driving back from the shops, I see this extroidinary display of wild flowers in a very un-extroidinary part of Brighton…
I’ve watched these flowers growing over the last few months on the way back from various weekly food shopping trips, but I couldn’t have anticipated just how beautiful they were going to become…
…. I had to pull over.
Seeing such a mass of them was breathtaking, and I thought Brighton and Hove City Council really wouldn’t mind me picking just a few to take home and share…
…and to be honest, I couldn’t stop playing with, and admiring them for hours…

… I particularly liked the Cornflowers as they were my school flower ( yes, we really did have a school flower; it was the basic design for our school emblem! )

but I adored all the colours together…

… and understandably completely fell in love!

      I’m lucky that the council here have decided to plant loads of wild flowers, but I bet you have wild beauty around even if it’s hidden in the cracks of the pavement 😉
