They are one of my favorites. We have Oriental poppies in the backyard in both orange and pink, the flowers are about the size of a dinner plate. Then there are Shirley poppies out front, mixed with the California red and orange (they are a little bigger). I collect seeds each year and plant them all over again the next. I love em!
I have found there are many people who enjoy it; I was not sure that would be the case when I set it up. A-Z has been a pleasantly surprising challenge.
Our Oriental poppies are about 18" tall so far, it's exciting to watch them bloom. Two of them will bloom about the end of May, and then again in fall. I love it!
Lovely. I've always wanted to find a field of flowers and dance through it. Someday I will :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was just a child, I thought about that often. As an adult, I did it, it was a freeing as the dreams I had of doing it. :-)
DeleteWhat a lovely vision of flowers in the breeze!♥

DeleteThis reminds me of the fields of poppies in what used to be the battlefields of the 1st World War.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful connection to make Paula. :-)
DeleteI love Haiku - especially such a lush descriptive one, like this.

DeleteI get this one and I love this one. ♥ More summer, bring it on!
ReplyDeleteWell it was you that put in the request for summer, sunshine, spring and the likes, I was merely obliging :-)
DeleteIn my mind's eye, I can see the poppy heads bobbing to and fro...
ReplyDeleteGood, that is encouraged :-)
DeleteI love poppies--well captured!
