California Poppies

It was great to come home from vacation and find flowers in my garden. The California poppies reminded me of butterflies alighting and ascending into the sky.

  1. I'm saving seeds to scatter. Mine are almost done. Summer heat and humidity here will take them out.

  5. These have got to be one of the cheeriest flowers out there! What a lovely thing to come home to. You've inspired me to add them to my "someday" list. Someday SOON, I hope!

    @gardenwalk and @redgardenclogs, they're such a cheery delight! I go outside and can't help but regard them.
