I took the photo on our Millennium Green. It's run by local people and we recently planted a wildflower meadow. Considering that it was only sown at the beginning of May and subsequently suffered a cold, dry spell, it has done remarkably well. It is now filled with corn poppy, cornflower, corn marigold, corncockle, musk mallow, oxeye daisy and there are many more flowers to come. It has attracted bumblebees, honey bees, hoverflies, and butterflies and it is now buzzing with life.
