Annual flowers in a cereal field in Hertfordshire .

The farmer has not treated this part of field with herbicide and there is a flush of cornfield annuals amongst the cereal crop. The blue flower is Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) and the red one is Field Poppy (Papaver rhoeas). Mayweed, with white flowers, is also visible.

 

My thanks to David Bevan for this photograph.
