Coreopsis flowers paint Trentham Garden’s wildflower meadow yellow even as the night draws in. There’s no such thing as a dull day with these around!

How wonderful!
Trentham are doing a really good job with their wildflower areas – they make them look effortless.
Magnífico. 🌞
The smiling sun seems very appropriate.
Beautiful meadow. A couple of our architects planted similar wildflowers in their yard. They were all flowering and looked beautiful. Then the city cited them for having weeds in their yard.
That wouldn’t fly over here.
Another location I knew quite well although I don’t remember a wildflower meadow.
Utterly, utterly glorious.
It makes you realise the Texas-style wildflower roadsides we could have, given the political will.
Don’t talk to me about political will, today of all days. …… One day, maybe….
I think you’d notice some changes since you were last there.
Either 1984 or 1985 to photograph a spectator stage of the RAC Rally.
How fabulous!
It’s hard not to smile when you see them.
So pretty!!
It’s a sight you immediately want to share 🙂
Looks like they go on forever. Would love to do that in my yard. Neighbors would probably hate it. 😊
The bees would have a field day though – literally! 🙂 It’s a large expanse, bigger than it looks here.
Lovely! 😊
This is so lovely.
It was a cheery sight – in full sun they must be dazzling.
I was so surprised to read that these are coreopsis! I thought maybe sunflowers or some such thing. I’ve never seen coreopsis look so imposing. The occasional blue or white makes them all the more vivid. And this is evening? Wow.
Unlucky that ‘coreopsis’ doesn’t have the same bouncing rhythm as ‘daffodils’, or a latter day Wordsworth might immortalise a field like this.
Indeed, “coreopsis” does not flow trippingly from the tongue, but what a tribute Wordsworth could craft!
He could have gone with the folk name but ‘I wandered lonely as a tickseed’ might have given the wrong impression about why he was lonely.
Thank you for a good morning laugh!
Stunning.
Reminds me instantly of walking in the woods showing a carpet of bluebells (in Sussex back in 1978 when I worked in an area next to the village of Rudgewick).
They both have an impressionistic character that makes our minds marvel.
Marvelous colors !
They’re very bold with the brown eyes – they make me think of eggs through some process of reversal.
I adore wildflower meadows – this one is gorgeous!
I wouldn’t have predicted this mix, but it is very cheerful. The other flowers (mainly cornflowers and Queen Anne’s Lace) play a great supporting role.
