A beautiful gift...

...last week I was pottering in the garden and decided to sort out an abandoned terracotta pot which was full of weeds. Right in the middle of this pot I saw this:

I wasn't quite sure what it was, but I knew it would be something wonderful and sure enough, five days later I wake to this sight:
I'm just so happy at this sight... it feels like a little gift from the garden angels!

I love how the poppy looks against our old patchwork stone wall and we don't have any poppies in the garden.

So what is the message here? Don't be hasty with the weeding? Quite possibly. But I think it is just a reminder that nature is full of surprises and always offers us something to brighten our day.... and I am truly inspired to do a little crochet using the colours of the poppy and stone wall.


I love the old stone wall with bits of lichen and red brick showing through....

I hope you all find a little bit of colourful happiness this Monday x

p.s. The photos of the poppy were taken at about 8am... when I finished work at 7pm and I looked out of the window, there wasn't a petal left on the poppy! I think the wind must have whipped them off, so I am very pleased I have a memory of this on my blog...

  1. This is such a gorgeous flower, MeMe... Often the most gorgeous ones are wild flowers that just pop out of nowhere! I know I've seen this flower before (in lavender, I think), it's so frail and pretty...
    Have a wonderful week!

  2. Beautiful, I love poppies (well most flowers really), and it looks so perfect against that wall. Those garden angels could teach us all a thing or two about planting.
