In the meadows at Great Dixter, Sussex, the Anacamptis morio (green-veined orchid, green-winged orchid, crake feet, fool orchid, goose and goslings) were flowering. This orchid is highly variable in flower colour and grows in short, unimproved grassland on chalky soils.

Running through this bed at Great Dixter, Sussex, was Papaver dubiumsubsp.lecoqii ‘Albiflorum’ (Beth’s poppy) that was just starting to flower. This delicate poppy is an annual that will self-sow in a sunny, well drained site.
