Welsh Poppy




Welsh Poppy, Papaver cambricum almost certainly naturalised, rather than truly wild, in a shady stone walled lane in the Wye Valley. Flowers solitary on long slender stalks are large and four petalled with yellow anthers. The leaves are deeply lobed.

About me and this blog

Sepals and Petals

I am starting this blog to record what I see each week. I have been doing #365DaysofBotany which requires a post of a different plant seen each day. I started this as a self education project but now with being limited to where I can walk from my home and plants in my garden it has become increasing difficult- but I have managed it!

My new plan is to post every few days in this blog keeping to the spirit of the challenge and still learning.

I have never blogged before. I asked @Barbus59 for advice and he said go for it! So here comes my botanical and blogging learning journey. 

Please feel free to offer advice. I look forward to your comments.
