Visiting a local farm I saw this wonderful double flowered form of Papaver orientale (oriental poppy, eastern poppy) in the front garden. This perennial poppy is covered with beautiful silvery hairs and will become naturalised in grassy embankments.

Plant bee-friendly flowers.

“Bee engaged with Youth”. World Bee Day 2024. 

Bees help your garden thrive, so treat them well by growing some or all of these bee-friendly plants. Which came first, the bee or the bee balm? While the question may be interesting to contemplate, it illustrates the vital partnership between plant and pollinator, and how one needs the other in order to survive.

Bee populations are declining rapidly in many regions of the country, with habitat loss being a primary cause. As gardeners, we can do our part to help keep these important pollinators well fed. Growing a diverse variety of flowering plants can satisfy the appetites of various bee species. Along with planting lots of flowers that attract bees, we can also improve the environment for bees by creating a safe haven in our gardens that they can call home.

The old and spectacular Papaver orientale 'Princess Victoria Louise' (poppy, oriental poppy) has large, blooms with crêpe paper petals and are the perfect addition to a cottage-style border. The flowers are short-lived but if dead-headed they may flower again in the autumn.

I must know the pages your art is in within the orientation notebook

Oh good point, I never did show off the stuff I did for the Orientation book did I? Here are all the art pieces I did for it :D

I was not in charge of any of the writings that are in the notebook, I was not part of it as I was just an artist for it XD But It's still so wild to see my work and be part of a scholastic book. Big thank you to Nized for sending me a signed copy of the book :D
