So when clearing a bed in her garden this weekend Jayne found this little item in the undergrowth - it's a stem and a ball of greenery. So the question is what do you think it is?
We worked it out, but can you?
Any ideas?
Well, it's a Poppy seed head full of seeds that have all germinated in situ!
The seed head obviously never split to release the seeds, and the warm, damp conditions have encouraged a fantastic germination rate.
How amazing is that! We are going to keep our eye on it and see what happens next. Will it become a huge clump of Poppies, or will it exhaust itself and shrivel up?
We'll keep you informed.
