What's Blooming?

Why poppies, of course! I been wistfully waiting for the late May blooms to start.
My annual love affair with the poppy has begun. I'm not sure if I take the same photos of poppies every year, but I'm continually enchanted by them. The plant pictured above is two years old and self-seeded from one of my older plants. The flowers are only about three to four inches in diameter, but have an architectural quality about them.

  1. They are simply fantastic. And from a plant only two years old! *marveling*

  2. Those have the kind of color you can completely immerse yourself in--so intense!

  3. @Patricia - I'm hoping that my older plants will perform as well.

    @Stacy - The intense color is one of the characteristics that draws me to poppies, but I love the pastel ones, too.
