Corncockle

Back to my garden again and an evening shot of a corncockle flower growing as the result of sowng wild flower seed, it is a beautiful and critically endangered species which is poisonous to humans hence being almost totally eradicated by modern farming techniques.

Back home to some cooking and cleaning.
