PBS International Garden Update Part 4: Oriental Poppy Timelapse!

We're really lucky that at PBS we get to travel to different parts of the world to talk to some of the most innovate plant breeders and seed producers around.
Unfortunately, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, international travel isn't happening at the moment so the PBS team are sharing a few videos over the coming weeks to showing the progress of mother nature
In Part 4, Rob check's out the progress of the fruit and veg and finding some welcome, random visitors 🌺.
The oriental poppies are rapidly blooming and we were lucky enough to film a time-lapse of one appearing from it's sepals, capturing the first bees arriving to pollinate 🐝
Watching the symbiotic relationship of flower and bee is magical and quite mesmerising. I've added some music to enhance the experience 🎹. Hope you enjoy it!
Isn't nature amazing?! 🌹🌍

Had a pumpkin growing out of my compost bin one year. Always fun to be surprised.

What type of poppy is this?

[@Alana12]

Do you just leave the poppies to die. I’ve just moved house and have found these growing. How do I look after them please ??

You should cut them Down th the ground end of autumn.. But if you want to grow more let the pods.. Develop seed and let them self seed... You'll have to thin the new plants in the spring....
