A Bright Blue Patch

Some work was recently done at the Upper Largo end of the Serpentine Walk and a patch of earth levelled off. In no time at all it was covered in vegetation, the most striking being these cornflowers (Centaurea cyanus). At one time cornflowers along with poppies brightened up the cornfields, although no doubt considered a troublesome weed, however, modern agricultural methods have led to it becoming quite a rarity.
