IF ONLY WE COULD HAVE A SILENT SUNDAY ELIZA. NO STRIMMERS, LAWNMOWERS OR CAR WASH MACHINES, CHINA

Yes, I know what you mean. Sometimes I wish they could mandate a ‘Quiet Day’ at least once a week, like in the old days of observing the Sabbath. Today’s world takes no time to rest properly.
Reblogged this on LIVING THE DREAM.
Thank you for reblogging!
Pretty 💕
Thank you kindly!
My pleasure 💙
Beautiful 🌸🌸🌸
Thank you, Karen! ❤
Holy cats!
🙂 Thanks, Laurie!
Much excitement in my world today due to this poppy. Pleased to see a picture here, too!
Thank you, Lauren. Bees go crazy over these flowers!
Reblogged this on Purplerays.
Thank you for reblogging!
Beautiful flower.
Thank you, Rabirius.
Lovely. I have a similar one which is also popular with the bees. There are only just beginning to come out.
Thank you, Karina. They really do go crazy over poppies for some reason. Perhaps the pollen tastes like chocolate. 😉
Do you ever feel they are getting ‘high’ on it?
I wondered about that, too, but I doubt it would be anything more than relaxing, but who knows? The haste may be due to the fact that the pollen is only ripe for a few hours, dried by noon and shatters by the end of the day.
Good point. That may well be it.
💜 Purple-Poppy-Pollen-Party-time. Beautiful photo, Eliza, you totally caught the delicateness of the Poppy.
Thank you very much, Alice! 🙂
A beautiful flower and a pollinator = a gardener’s dream. 🙂
Yes, indeed. Makes me a happy gardener. ❤
Beautifully sweet!
Thank you, Cindy!
Beautiful Image Eliza!
Thank you kindly, Reed!
Amazing capture!
Many thanks, Robert. 🙂
Perfect with the bee!
Thank you, Sandy. They love that pollen!
Happy bee. I hope you’re having a good weekend too!
Yes, she did seem quite frenzied harvesting that pollen! It is high summer here, hot and a tad humid, but wonderful for sitting in the shade. We haven’t had rain for a while, so I had to water this morning. Probably sounds familiar, eh?

I need a Love button for this one. Beautiful, Eliza. ❤
Thank you very much, Robin! 🙂
The poppies have been great this year and where there is a poppy there is a bee (and usually some hoverflies). Lovely shot!
Thank you, Allison. I agree, and did see quite a few hoverflies as well.
SOOOOO happy to see that honey bee, Eliza!!
Thank you, Amy! bzzzz!
Lovely summer scene!
Thank you, Belinda!
Lovely Eliza ❤
Thank you, Julie! x
Happy honeybee … gorgeous flower. 🙂
Thank you!
Lovely. Hundreds of these near me this year, self seeded in hedgerows and the outsides of gardens.
Thank you, Jill. That must be a lovely sight to see!
Awesome photo!!
Thank you, Jen!
I do love poppies and have tried to grow them a few times … Oriental and California. The ones that seem to do well here though are the big orange/red ones. I’ll have to try those next. When is the best time to plant them?
Since they require a cold period before germinating, fall is best. The seedlings are very tiny and must be thinned to about a foot apart once they are a few inches tall. Mark where you sow them so you won’t forget them in spring, thinking they are weeds!
