The heavy rain we've had lately has hammered the poppies we have in our garden and knocked most of their petals off. This one has yet to fully open and so has survived so far!

A macro view of some of the mossy green stuff growing on my shed roof. In this image you can see the stalks topped with single capsules containing spores.

Lordington Lavender had their Open Days this past weekend before the crop is harvested. I made the mistake of going on Sunday! Hot, sweaty and hundreds of people.- with not a chance of getting any images of the whole field without anyone else in the shot - as you can see! Next year I may book one of their private group tours. I did manage to get a few half-decent images which I'll post over the next few days. A link if anyone is interested: www.lordingtonlavender.co.uk

I have no idea what this plant is - despite Googling for ages. Can anyone tell me?

Not many of these left now........but managed to find just a few still flowering next to the lavender field at Lordington Lavender.

The yellow flowers are Coreopsis "Early Sunrise" I think. No idea what the small pink ones are.
