Oh how I love poppies! Gorgeous, Eliza!!! ๐ โค
Thank you, Natalie! โค
Youโre most welcomeโฃ๏ธ๐๐น
So very, very lovely.
Thank you, Laurie. I think their only lasting a day adds to my appreciation of their ephemeral beauty.
I find it so difficult to photograph poppies and catch their real-life beauty. You have done this. Lovely. x
Thank you, Ali – much appreciated!
Pretty in Pink ๐๐๐
Thank you, Karen!
So beautiful!
Thank you, Cindy. Enjoy the week ahead!
That poppy is such a gorgeous colour!
Thank you, I haven’t seen many like them. An heirloom variety hand-me-down.
Stunning!
Thank you!
Beautiful!
Thank you! Good Sunday to you!
A bunch of mine just opened this morning, & here you are with one of yours! So delicate & beautiful….hope the coming rain doesn’t destroy them!
Most of mine out front are done, but the back ones help prolong the bloom season. Love these, thank you for the seed shared so long ago!
Absolutely beautiful, and my favorite flower too, although I have not had much success with it.
Thank you, Hien. I think fresh seed is key, I sow them as soon as the pods ripen where I want them to grow next year. Once they sprout, I thin them to about 12″ apart. Though they grow in any soil, my biggest ones are in medium-average soil.
Beautifully photographed Eliza!
Thank you, Belinda!
I love how you capture the glorious beauty of nature. Thank you for sharing.โบโบ
Thank you very muchโ It is my pleasure!
A wonderful capture Eliza ๐
Thank you, Val! xo
Beautiful! I love poppies. ๐
Thank you, Joanna. These poppies amaze and delight every year.
Daintiness…Interesting how the seed pod changes.
I do love these poppies! The seed heads dry well for winter arrangements.
What a lovely shade of pink (for a poppy?).
Thank you, Vicki. Yes, it is a poppy and not a common color that I’ve seen.
Poppies!!!!! So pretty Eliza. Itโs so nice to see your pictures on Sunday. So refreshing to start a new week๐
Thank you very much, Angela!
Very pretty!!! Love the details in the center of the flower.
Thank you! Poppies are a lovely flower, one of my favorites!
*SIGH* Poppies! Another genus that dislikes my garden for some reason.
Perhaps they need cold stratification? Their place of origin is certainly hot and dry, but they tend to have colder/wet winters. Maybe try putting some seed in a baggie of damp sand in the fridge for a few months and sowing them in the fall? Might work!
Love the papery petals
Thank you, Karina. They look like the crepe-paper that we used to make flowers in art class.
Stunning, Eliza! Mine have gone to seed and flown to the winds.
Thank you, Pete. I have them scattered around the yard so I get a longer bloom time. My reds are pretty much done. Just waiting for the seed to ripen to sow for next year.
What a lovely color! So beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Maria!
Thank YOU ๐
One of my favorite poppies! Lauren’s Grape?
I got the seed from my sister decades ago and she in turn found it growing under a spruce that they cut down in their yard of their Victorian age home. Unknown provenance!
Wow!!!
I love this. โค
Thank you, Robin!
This is a gorgeous flower. Thanks for sharing.
Gracias, Maria!
Love the colour and the texture.
Thank you, Alison!
Nice Eliza! .love the color and detail!
Thank you, Reed!
I saw you mention you sow the seed as soon as it’s ripe. Do they sprout in the fall or spring? Mine should make some seed this summer so I’ll be spreading them around!
Spring – I think cold stratification is needed for germination.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you, Fi!
