Clicker 4,163 Report post Posted July 10 The council have sown a huge swathe of land on the roadside with wildflower seeds ... , mostly poppies and cornflowers .... for a fraction of the price it costs for the workforce to raise and plant thousands of plants and they look just magnificent ... so after photographing them I've slapped some digital paint on a digital canvas to show the essence of them ... and had fun without the mess ! 5 Share this post Link to post
Korky 4,743 Report post Posted July 10 They've done a similar thing in our local park - only this morning Mrs K and myself were admiring the cornflowers. The digital paint looks excellent! Korky 1 Share this post Link to post
Clicker 4,163 Report post Posted July 10 It’s such a treat to see the carpet of colour either side of the road welcoming visitors and locals into the town and of course it was heaving with insects doing what insects do best ... ... and so cost effective ... it must save a fortune on plants and grass cutting ...and environmentally friendly too. Is Mrs K enjoying her tennis ... This is the first year when I haven’t seen a single match... but I have watched every football match Share this post Link to post
Guest Report post Posted July 10 The finish works a treat. Worth space on the wall Clicks. Lancashire CC have done the same thing for the new bypass north of Preston except just Poppies but no Cornflowers. Very striking while they lasted. Sadly the heat has seen them off. I was trying to get a shot of Poppies with some slightly OOF horses in the BG. I moved one of the Poppies for a better position and all of the petals fell off. Share this post Link to post
