Poppies and cornfield flowers
Vanna's latest acrylic paintings are of cornfield flowers and poppies.
We always allow some poppies, cornflowers and corn marigolds to flower on our allotment and this summer they have been fantastic, though the poppies drop their petals in the heat of the afternoon.
They are joined by lesser bindweed, which is less welcome but nonetheless very pretty.
