This scene, along an arable field margin beside the Peddars Way coastal footpath, between Wells-next-the-Sea and the village of Stiffkey, stopped us in our tracks when we were walking in Norfolk a couple of weeks ago. A broad strip of land along one margin of the field had been sown with chicory Chicorium intibus and tall melilot Melilotus altissima.
Thousands of blue flowers...
...... at the peak of perfection ....
... with a few white specimens, interlaced with ...
... the yellow racemes of melilot
I've no idea who sowed this wonderful display (although there may be a clue here) - but whoever did it created a fabulous spectacle and deserves a round of applause.
