Poppy


Last year I spent time marveling at the hollyhock I had planted, this year I am enjoying the poppies. I scattered a bunch of seeds in the large planter on the porch that houses the hummingbird feeder. No sooner were they scattered, they were forgotten. I asked my sis, the expert, if she knew what they were once they were out of the ground and she didn't know.
Let me tell you, I now know why they are called poppies. In the evening they were buds, come morning they had literally "popped" open and were magnificent pink blossoms with layers of tissue paper thin petals.
Hmm...let's see...what can I plant next year.
