Beautiful !
Thank you!
One of my favorite color combinations!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Speaking of liking…are you fond of ginger? I was thinking of making my mother’s gingersnaps when you come for a visit.
Gingersnaps made from scratch? Yum! 🙂
Flowering here too at the moment – I do love these poppies.
I have both mauve and red (and sometimes they cross). So glad they self-sow well. Sadly, not as many bees visiting as in former years. 😦 They used to be teeming with honeybees.
Honey bees visit mine too – but it’s been quite wet last couple of days but hope to see some soon.
It may be silent but it has a lot of impact.
Thank you, Victor!
What color would you call that?
Raspberry red! 🙂
Gorgeous!
Thank you!
Poppies are so beautiful. I have so many different kinds of flowers….so few bees 😓. Lots of Milkweed, so fortunately more bees & other insects are arriving. Happy to see the Hummingbirds very frequently, lately, on flowers & feeders 😍. And Turkeys with chicks! And a Woodchuck, & lots of birds, etc
Your garden sounds like a haven for wildlife – a happy place to visit!
“Offer (lots of ) food and they will come! 😍 “
love this colour!
Thank you, Ann. 🙂 It is a pity they only last a day.
A beauty, Eliza!
Thank you, Frances!
I’m with Laurie Graves as this being one of my favorite color combinations. Really nice Eliza!
Thank you, Mary!
A beautiful burst of color Eliza. Love poppies. 🌹
Thank you, Karen. Me, too!
Lovely shot, gorgeous colour!
Thank you, Belinda!
What fantastically rich colors, especially next to one another. Quite regal.
Thank you. July is poppy-time around here and it is quite wonderful!
Beautiful! Poppies are one of my favorites. I tried to grow blue poppies from seeds this year. The Persian seeds arrived but the Himalayan seeds were confiscated by our government. Anyway, the seedlings were so tiny and delicate they did not make it. I bought a withered yellow poppy from the sale table at Walmart and it gave me many blooms and for a couple of months … I love that plant!
Thank you, Denise. Hopefully your yellow poppy will self-sow so you’ll have more next year. If you would like me to send you some red or mauve seeds like I picture here, I’d be happy to. I just sprinkle them on the ground in the fall and thin the seedlings in the spring – very easy.
