Thanks Paul ... yes, an asarum it is!

As always I seem to have by-passed a few shots in the bedlam that is posting ... all from the Blyth's garden ... and, just for Luit, three shots from the poorer poppy fields ... I would have been quite content with these at one stage on the journey.   :D

Cliff, I would have been satisfied too with the first places to see.
But for the field on A52 and A53 (THE VERY BEST OF ALL INDEED) the only possibility is an emergency stop  ;D ;D
Luit van Delft, right in the heart of the beautiful flowerbulb district, Noordwijkerhout, Holland.

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

Cliff (or anyone watching),

Any ideas as to which Asarum it is?
Cheers.

... perhaps all the locals have grown accustomed to such a spectacle ... ?

accustomed yes, the area round Cromer is known as Poppyland.
 Although we are accustomed that doesn't mean that we are not delighted to see them every year.

Many thanks for making the tiring journey across the country Cliff, it was good to meet you and I for one was delighted with your presentation, now back after a long weekend away it seems weeks ago that we saw it!

Somewhat late, I know but what fantastic poppy field shots, Cliff, it's great to see them en masse like this instead of just a few skirting the fields where the spray hasn't reached.... English landscapes like this are unique and I love the poppy fields with dramatic skies overhead that you captured - will return for another dose when the day is grey.... 8)
