Field of Flowers

If you have a spare paddock or two you could create your very own living Monet!



That is exactly what a couple in Somerset have created. Brian and Denise Herrick have taken 57 different species of annual flowering plants and painted a scene they call a field of dreams.



The seed mixture was designed to produce a sequence of brightly-coloured flowers through July and August (Northern Hemisphere). Among the earliest blooms were daisies, including the white Cape daisy and the delicate clusters of the Swan River daisy. These were followed by the blue-and-white Morning Glory, blue larkspur and poppies, including the California poppy.
