Ladock - Roadside wild flowers

This pretty assortment of wild flowers were growing by the side of the main road through Ladock, the B3275. The blue cornflowers are the most prevalent, but amongst them there are red poppies and a white flower which may be a white cosmos, while the purple flower may be another cosmos e.g. Cosmos bipinnatus. Thanks to fellow Geographers for help in identifying the latter two flowers. This collection has almost certainly been intentionally grown here by the scattering of seed in the wayside, especially as the Cosmos species are not native to the UK.
