Poppy time in the garden is one of my favorites! Gorgeous color. Loved by Gardeners and artists like John Ruskin and Celia Thaxter #poppy #poppies #poppytime #cuttinggarden #mygarden #instagarden #northviewgarden #junegarden

Welcomed by poppies this morning. Such a beloved annual treat. Ephemeral but essential #northviewgarden #poppies #junegarden #instagarden #mygarden #flowergarden #gardening #pinkflowers

Garden to honor the heroes in WW II of D-day 75 years ago on the Normandy beaches. With thanks to all veterans on this Memorial Day - a commemoration at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2019 by John Everiss. Brilliantly interpreted as the young soldiers on the left meet their older selves represented by the statue on the right (that is surrounded by Sea Thift - or Armeria found on the cliffs of England and Normandy). The installation is on its way to Normandy. #rhschelsea2019 #rhschelseaflowershow2019 #dday #ww2 #london #chelseaflowershow #johneverissdesign @johneveriss
