“Stronger than lover’s love is lover’s hate. Incurable, in each, the wounds they make.”
— Euripides
“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.”
― Oscar Wilde
forget what you feel, remember what you deserve
you planted seeds of love
in the empty spaces
of my heart
Plant of the Day Tuesday 10 June 2014
Eschscholzia californica, California poppies form a river of colour in the a Theodore Payne Garden at Moulton College, Northampton. Payne (1872 - 1963) was born locally to the College and travelled to the USA in 1893 from where he introduced a range of Californian plants and set up a plant nursery. The garden was made by enthusiastic students and staff - what a great result of research and practical skills. Eschscholzia californica forms a vigorous spreading annual with finely divided blue-green leaves and normally orange, yellow or red flowers. In the foreground the low growing deep blue/purple flowers are Sissyrinchium bellum and the taller light blue flowers with the dark eye are Gilia tricolor - both from California. Jill Raggett
