3 Plants for now: 3rd week of May

Annual Welsh poppies, Papaver cambricum, native to Wales (as the name suggests) and a garden escapee in parts of England – a confident self seeder here in orange which I think beats the more often seen yellow option. Chives, Allium schoenoprasum, also keen self seeders, striking in flower and of course edible. Lastly, Scarlet avens, Geum quellyon, unknown cultivar, another good value long flowering cottage garden perennial.
